Information You Submit
Search Queries
When a name, location, or other term is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send an email or another direct message, we may retain the information in it so we can respond or maintain the correspondence. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
