This Privacy Policy explains how peoplefinderfreeonline.com ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit or use our website and related services (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Information you provide: When you use our search tools, contact forms, login features, or opt-out requests, we may collect names, email addresses, and other details you choose to submit.
- Automatically collected information: We may collect browser type, device information, IP address, referring pages, pages viewed, timestamps, and general usage data through log files and analytics tools.
- Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies and related technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, and improve Site performance.
2. How We Use Information
We use collected information to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site;
- Process search requests and display relevant results or referral pages;
- Respond to support requests, opt-out requests, and other communications;
- Monitor usage trends, troubleshoot issues, and protect against abuse or fraud;
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.
3. Cookies, Analytics, and Usage Statistics
We may use cookies, local storage, pixels, and similar technologies to operate the Site and collect usage statistics. This may include:
- Pages visited, referral sources, search terms, click paths, and approximate location derived from IP address;
- Browser type, device type, operating system, screen size, language settings, and timestamps;
- Performance and error data used to diagnose problems and improve Site reliability.
We may use first-party analytics tools (such as Umami) and other measurement providers to understand traffic sources, popular content, and conversion paths. Analytics data is generally aggregated. We do not intentionally combine analytics data with personally identifiable information you submit through forms unless required to operate a specific feature you request.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some Site features. Where available, you may also use browser privacy or “Do Not Track” settings; however, we cannot guarantee that all third-party tools will honor every signal.
4. Advertising and Marketing Technologies
The Site may display advertisements, sponsored placements, affiliate offers, or promotional content. Advertising partners and networks may use cookies, pixels, device identifiers, and similar technologies to:
- Deliver ads on the Site or on other websites;
- Measure ad impressions, clicks, and campaign effectiveness;
- Limit how often you see an advertisement;
- Infer interests based on browsing activity across participating sites.
These partners may collect information about your visit independently under their own privacy policies. We do not control their tracking technologies. Interest-based advertising preferences may be managed through your browser settings, device advertising settings, or industry opt-out tools offered by participating networks, where available.
5. Third-Party Search Partners, Records, and Tracking
The Site provides informational search tools and may display aggregated public-records-related content, summaries, screenshots, or links. When you submit a search or click certain results, you may be redirected to third-party websites, people-search providers, affiliate partners, or record platforms.
Those third parties may collect, store, and process information such as:
- Names, locations, and other search details you enter;
- IP address, cookies, click identifiers, and referral parameters;
- Account, payment, or lead information if you continue on their site;
- Public records or commercially available data they already maintain.
We do not operate or control third-party databases. Any personal information stored by those providers is subject to their privacy policies, terms, and removal processes. For removal requests related to third-party listings, please contact the hosting service directly or visit our Opt Out page for guidance.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, accuracy, billing, or security of third-party websites or services.
6. Third-Party Services and Links
In addition to advertising and search partners, the Site may use hosting, CDN, email forwarding, security, logging, or analytics providers. When you interact with embedded content or leave the Site through outbound links, those providers or destinations may receive technical information about your request.
Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their terms and privacy policies.
7. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information as a standalone consumer data product. We may share information in the following circumstances:
- With service providers that help us operate the Site, subject to confidentiality obligations;
- With advertising, analytics, affiliate, or search partners when you use related features or click related links;
- When you choose to use a third-party search or referral service through the Site;
- To comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request;
- To protect the rights, property, or safety of our users, the public, or our business;
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, with appropriate safeguards.
8. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Server access logs and analytics aggregates may be retained for security, fraud prevention, and capacity planning, typically up to 30–90 days unless a longer period is needed for legal or operational reasons. Third-party partners retain data according to their own policies.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
