Privacy Policy

At US Property Search, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a secure and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website, uspropertysearch.org. By using our website, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read it carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal information.

Information We Collect

At US Property Search, we do not require users to register or provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or physical address in order to access the tools and resources available on our website. Our primary goal is to provide you with an easy and efficient way to search for property records, tax assessments, and other real estate information using official state and local government tools.

However, as with most websites, certain information may be automatically collected when you visit our site. This information helps us improve your browsing experience and optimize our website’s performance. The information collected is typically non-personally identifiable, but it may include the following:

Device Information: This may include details about the device you are using, such as the type of device (e.g., desktop, smartphone, tablet), the device's operating system (e.g., iOS, Android, Windows), and other device-related details.

Browser Information: We collect data about the browser type and version you are using, as well as information about the browser’s settings, language preferences, and other similar data.

Cookies: We use cookies to enhance your experience on our site. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us recognize your preferences, improve website functionality, and ensure that our website operates smoothly.

IP Address: We may collect the IP address of your device to determine your general location and improve the website's functionality based on regional needs.

Traffic Data: We may collect data about how you interact with the website, such as pages visited, time spent on pages, and the search terms you use. This data helps us understand how users navigate our site, which enables us to improve our content and user experience.

Use of Google Analytics

US Property Search uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect and analyze traffic data in order to improve the user experience and optimize the performance of our website.

The information collected by Google Analytics helps us analyze patterns of website traffic, identify popular content, track user engagement, and improve the functionality of our website. Google Analytics collects anonymous data, such as the type of device, browser, and pages visited. This data is aggregated and does not include personally identifiable information.

Google Analytics may use cookies to store information about user behavior, such as how often you visit the site, which pages you view, and how you navigate between pages. This data allows us to better understand how visitors use our website and make improvements where needed.

It’s important to note that Google Analytics does not share personal information with us. The data collected is used solely for the purpose of improving our website’s functionality and providing a better experience for users.

If you prefer not to have your data collected by Google Analytics, you can opt-out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available on Google’s website.

Use of Google AdSense

US Property Search uses Google AdSense, a service provided by Google that serves ads based on your interaction with our website and other websites you have visited. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve personalized ads to users based on their interests and browsing history.

When you visit our website, Google AdSense may display ads based on the data collected through cookies and web beacons. This allows Google to serve ads that are more relevant to your interests, improving the overall advertising experience. However, it is important to note that Google does not collect personally identifiable information through AdSense, and all data used for advertising purposes is anonymous.

If you do not want Google to use your browsing history to personalize ads, you can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can adjust your browser settings to block third-party cookies, though this may limit some features of our website.

Data Retention

The data we collect through Google Analytics and other third-party tools is retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, including optimizing the user experience and improving the functionality of our website. We do not store personally identifiable information through these tools, and we take steps to ensure that any data collected is anonymized and used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties. As mentioned earlier, our website does not require users to provide personal information, and the information we collect is primarily non-personally identifiable. The only exception to this is the use of third-party tools, such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense, which help us analyze website traffic and serve personalized ads.

We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information with our partners, advertisers, or other third parties to help us better understand user behavior and improve our website’s performance. However, this data will not contain any personal information or allow third parties to identify individual users.

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, such as in response to a subpoena or other legal processes, or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or government requests.

Security

We take the security of your data seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it. However, it’s important to note that no method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights and Choices

Since US Property Search does not collect personally identifiable information, the scope of your rights regarding your data is limited. However, if you are concerned about the use of cookies or other tracking technologies, you have the option to manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.

Cookie Settings: Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences by adjusting the settings. You can choose to accept or reject cookies, or you can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being sent. Please refer to your browser’s help section for more information on how to manage cookies.

Opt-out of Google Analytics: If you prefer not to have your data collected by Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or disable cookies in your browser settings.
