When a name, location, or other search detail is entered into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those submitted search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement, court order, subpoena, or similar process requires disclosure.
