Information You Provide
Search requests
A name, location, or other term typed into a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or a message, we retain the details needed to respond. We do not share message content outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.

Advertising providers may measure activity across sites on their own systems to help select advertisements. Their practices are governed by their own notices and controls.

- Search partners that process a submitted request
- Analytics and hosting providers
- Advertising networks
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to a small web reference service. No internet-connected system can promise perfect security, so visitors should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information.
