Information You Submit
A name or location entered into an embedded search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the message and contact details long enough to respond and manage the exchange. We do not share that message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
