Information Collected
Search terms entered in partner tools pass to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Messages sent to the site include the details the sender chooses to provide. Servers and service providers may automatically receive technical data such as IP address, browser, device, referring page, pages viewed, and timestamps. Cookies or similar tools may remember settings, measure use, support advertising, and help services operate.
How Information Is Used
Data may be used to operate and secure the site, respond to messages, understand traffic, improve content, prevent misuse, and support advertising. Search partners receive search activity needed to provide results. Analytics services and advertising networks may receive technical or cookie data under their own policies.
Sharing and Legal Requests
Information may be shared with search partners, hosting and analytics providers, advertising networks, or contractors that support operations. It may also be disclosed to law enforcement or another authority when required by a valid legal order, or when reasonably needed to protect rights and system security. Personal information is not promised to be sold or withheld beyond what applicable law requires.
Links, Security, and Minors
Outbound government and private links have separate privacy practices. Security measures are best efforts, and no internet transmission or storage system is guaranteed safe. This service is not directed to people under 18, and knowingly submitted information from a minor should be reported for review.
