Public Records Online (“we”, “our”, or “us”) understands that privacy is important to our users. This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding the collection, use, sharing, and protection of your personal data for this website (the “Website”) and the various data reporting services that we offer on the Website (the “Services”) (the Website and Services together, the “Properties”). This Privacy Policy also tells you about the rights and choices you have with respect to your personal data, how you can assert those rights, and how you can contact us to get answers to your questions.
This Privacy Policy discusses our personal data processing practices both with respect to individuals who visit our Website and/or use our Services (“Users”) and individuals who are the subject of—or are otherwise named in—reports generated by our Services (“Report Subjects”). For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the terms “you,” “user,” “consumer,” and “individual” are used as appropriate for the relevant legal framework and all refer to the User or Report Subject (as applicable) whose personal data is processed.
Please note that our privacy practices are subject to the applicable laws of the regions in which we operate. Accordingly, some additional region-specific terms will only apply to individuals in those locations, or as required by applicable laws.
For more information about how users with disabilities can access this Privacy Policy in an alternative format, please email us at [email protected] with the subject line “Disability Access.”
BY USING OR ACCESSING THE PROPERTIES, YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH OUR POLICIES OR PRACTICES, YOU SHOULD NOT USE OR ACCESS THE PROPERTIES OR PROVIDE US WITH ANY PERSONAL DATA.
This Privacy Policy applies to the personal data that we obtain in various contexts. We use the term “personal data” — also called “personal information” or “personally identifiable information” in the laws of some jurisdictions — to refer to information that reasonably identifies, relates to, describes, or can be associated with you.
Personal data does not include data that is deidentified or that otherwise cannot reasonably be related back to a specific person (“deidentified data”). Additionally, personal data does not include information that is lawfully made available from federal, state, or local government records, or that we have a reasonable basis to believe was lawfully made available to the general public by the relevant individuals themselves or from widely distributed media (collectively, “publicly available information”).
Because deidentified data and publicly available information are not considered personal data, we may collect, use, and disclose this data for any purpose permitted by law. However, in some instances, we may combine deidentified data or publicly available information with personal data, and if we do, the combined information will be treated by us as personal data to the extent that it is capable of personally identifying you.
If you are a User, the following are the categories and types of personal data that we or our third-party partners may collect from or about you, depending on how you interact with the Properties:
If you are a Report Subject, the majority of data that we collect about you constitutes publicly available information. This information includes: property owner's name, property address, property characteristics, property value, and liens. As individual elements, this information may be considered publicly available. However, when we compile and compare sets of publicly available information to form inferences or draw new conclusions about the underlying individuals, the resulting information may be considered personal data.
Accordingly, we may collect or infer the following categories and types of personal data about you or your relatives:
If you are a User, we collect personal data that you provide to us directly. This may include, but is not limited to:
We also collect personal data about Users automatically. When you visit our Properties or interact with our advertisements, we or third parties we work with may automatically collect certain information using technologies such as cookies and other tracking technologies described below.
“Cookies” are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a website for the purpose of collecting data to facilitate and enhance your communication and interaction with that website. Such data may include, for example, the address of the websites you visited before and after you visited our Website, the type of browser you are using, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, what pages in the Website you visited and what links you clicked on, the region where your device is located, and geographic information based on your IP data. We may store some information on your device or device hard drive as a cookie or similar type of file (such as clear gifs, web beacons, tags, and similar technologies that work on mobile devices) to collect data related to usage of the Website. We may also use cookies to customize your visit to the Website and for other purposes to make your visit more convenient or to enable us to enhance the Properties.
As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as “clickstream data,” can be collected and stored by a website's server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the Website. We may collect and use clickstream data as a form of aggregate information to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Website, how visitors navigate throughout the Website, and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. This information will be used to improve our Properties.
We may work with third-party vendors who use the technologies described in this section to conduct website analytics to help us track and understand how visitors use our Properties and other Services. One such provider is Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help analyze how users use the Website. The information generated by these cookies about your use (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Website, compiling reports on activity for its staff, and providing other services relating to web page activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. By using the Website and accepting cookies, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. Please refer to the currently available opt-outs for Google Analytics by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. You may obtain additional information about Google Analytics by visiting the section titled “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services,” located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
We may obtain information about you from other sources, such as data analytics providers, marketing or advertising vendors, fraud prevention vendors, vendors that provide other services on our behalf, or publicly available sources.
If you are a Report Subject, we may collect information about you from the following sources:
We collect and use personal data for the following purposes:
In addition to using your personal data ourselves for the reasons stated above (and as otherwise mentioned in this Privacy Policy), we may disclose your personal data to other affiliates and entities in the following instances:
If you are a Report Subject, we may share your personal data with Users who purchase reports on our Properties (“Report Purchasers”). Our Terms of Service prohibit Report Purchasers from using your information to make decisions about consumer credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose that would constitute a “consumer report” under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
We may share your personal data with third-party service providers who may use your information to provide us with services including, but not limited to: website hosting, certain data analytics services, infrastructure provision, information technology services, customer service, email delivery services, payment processing, auditing, and anti-fraud monitoring. These service providers may have access to personal data that is necessary to perform their functions, but they are only permitted to do so in connection with performing services for us. They are not authorized by us to use the information for their own benefit.
We may share personal data with our corporate affiliates and subsidiaries, who process personal data on our behalf, where necessary to provide a product or service that you have requested, or in other circumstances with your consent or as permitted or required by law.
We may share your personal data with third parties who partner with us to promote products and services, provide marketing and advertisements, conduct data analytics, or use the data for other commercial purposes. We do not control how these third parties use and share your personal data once they receive it. You will need to contact such third parties directly for information about their privacy practices or to exercise any rights you may have (including if you would like to opt out of marketing messages).
We may disclose personal data and other information as we believe necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) to respond to requests from public and government authorities including public and government authorities outside your country of residence; (d) to enforce our terms and conditions; (e) to protect our operations or those of any of our affiliates; (f) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you, or others; and (g) to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.
We may share your personal data and other information with third parties in connection with a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of the assets of the Company, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which the assets transferred may include information about the users of our Properties.
Please note that if you specifically consent to additional uses of your personal data, we may use your personal data in a manner consistent with that consent.
We may create links to other websites that we think may be of interest to you, such as providers of various products and services. We do not endorse any other websites, providers, or services by providing such links, and this Privacy Policy applies only to your use of our Properties. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of any websites and services we link to on our Properties, and you should read the privacy policies of each site you visit to determine what data that site may collect about you.
We may ourselves, or with third-party vendors, use your information to deliver targeted advertising to you when you visit our Properties or other websites. Cookies, clickstream data, and other similar technologies described above may be used in this process. For example, if you are searching for information on a particular product, we or our vendor may cause an advertisement to appear on other websites you view with information on that product. This form of advertising, sometimes called “interest-based advertising,” “online behavioral advertising,” or “cross-context behavioral advertising,” enables us and our vendors to know about your interests in connection with the delivery of a specific ad.
If you would like to opt out of these targeted advertisements, please follow the opt-out process described in the section titled Your Choices below.
We may use your information to help us, or our third-party vendors, determine if you have interacted with our Properties across multiple devices and to match such devices. To accomplish this, we may rely on information (including demographic, geographic and interest-based data) from third parties such as data vendors, pursuant to their own privacy policies, or we may use information we collect in conjunction with such third-party data. Based on this data, we may then display targeted advertisements across devices that we believe are associated with each other, and may further provide services to our advertisers to better enable cross-device targeting and analysis. To opt out of or restrict our use of certain cross-device data, please see the section titled Your Choices below.
Personal data is maintained on our servers or those of our vendors, and is accessible by authorized employees, independent contractors, representatives, and agents as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We use reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to promote the security of our systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of personal data. However, no method of safeguarding information is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will be effective or sufficient. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us of the problem by using the information in the section below titled Contacting Us.
We will retain your personal data for as long as your inquiry is active or as needed to provide you with the Properties, and for a reasonable time thereafter in accordance with our standard procedures or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Even if we delete some or all of your information, we may continue to retain and use anonymous or aggregate data, or any other data that constitutes non-personal data. While deletion is pending, we may securely store your personal data in backup archives in accordance with our routine data backup procedures, and if we do so, your data will be securely stored and isolated from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Consistent with applicable law, you may exercise the choices described in this section regarding your personal data and communications from us. You may also have certain additional rights available depending on laws in your state or country of residence, as described further below in the Privacy Policy.
If you want to have information or records about you or your property removed from availability on our website, you may submit a request by emailing [email protected] with the subject line “Remove My Information,” or by using the “Remove my info” link in our website footer. Although your request will be processed promptly, there may be a short delay to complete your request due to browser caching. Please note that your request extends only to our Properties, and will not cause your information to be removed from any public or private databases that we have obtained your information from.
If you would like to stop or restrict the placement of cookies or flush any cookies that may already be on your computer or device, please refer to and adjust your web browser preferences. Further information on cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org. By deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our Properties or some of their functionality may be affected. Note that cookie-based opt-outs must be performed on each device and browser on which you wish to opt out.
You may opt out of receiving targeted ads from certain data and advertising partners that participate in certain industry self-regulatory programs. The DAA provides a website at www.aboutads.info/consumers with information about how to opt out of targeted advertising from some or all of the DAA's participating companies. Please note that by opting out, you will continue to see generic advertising that is not tailored to your specific interests and activities. In the event that we perform cross-device matching (as described above), once you have opted out on one device (“Opted-Out Device”), we will not use any new data from the Opted-Out Device to identify you on another device for targeted advertising purposes, and we will not use data from another device for targeted advertising purposes on the Opted-Out Device.
For targeted advertisements delivered through mobile apps, users may opt out of certain ads or reset advertising identifiers via their device settings. To learn how to limit ad tracking or to reset the advertising identifier on your iOS and Android device, visit the following links:
Finally, the NAI provides information about how to opt out of targeted advertising on your web browser, mobile device, and smart TV or streaming device. For more information on how to opt out of targeted advertising in these different environments, visit the following links:
If you are a resident of Nevada, you have the right to opt out of the sale of certain personal data that we have collected (or may collect) from you to data brokers or other third parties. You can exercise this right by emailing us at [email protected] with the subject line “Nevada Do Not Sell Request.”
If you submit personal data to us, that information may be processed in a jurisdiction where privacy laws may be less stringent than those in your country of residence. By submitting your personal data to us, you agree to the transfer, storage, and processing of such information in foreign jurisdictions including, but not limited to, the United States.
Our Properties are intended for users ages 18 and over, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 18. When we become aware that personal data (or other information that is protected under applicable law) from a child under 18 has been collected, we will use all reasonable efforts to delete such information from our databases. If you believe we might have any personal data from or about a child under 18, please contact us by using the information in the section below titled Contacting Us.
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions from this Privacy Policy at any time, provided that any such modifications will only be applied prospectively. We encourage you to periodically review the Website for the latest information on our privacy practices. Your continued use of the Properties following the posting of any changes to this Privacy Policy means you accept such changes. If we make a material change to this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices and believe that such changes will affect your personal data, we will take reasonable electronic measures to notify you of such changes and provide a reasonable opportunity for you to opt out of any further materially different collection, processing, or transfer of previously collected personal data under the changed policy. The process by which we notify you of material changes may include email or a pop-up notification on the Website, depending on how you interact with us.

If you are a resident of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Delaware, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, Minnesota, Maryland, Indiana, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Oklahoma, or another U.S. state that has similar comprehensive privacy legislation (collectively, “Covered States”), you may have specific rights regarding your personal data under: the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Colorado Privacy Act, Connecticut Data Privacy Act, Utah Consumer Privacy Act, Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act, Iowa Consumer Data Protection Act, Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act, Nebraska Data Privacy Act, New Hampshire Data Privacy Act, New Jersey Data Privacy Act, Tennessee Information Protection Act, Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, Maryland Online Data Privacy Act, Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act, Kentucky Consumer Data Protection Act, Rhode Island Data Transparency and Privacy Protection Act, Oklahoma Data Privacy Act, and similar laws in other U.S. states (collectively, “State Privacy Laws”). This section describes the rights that consumers of Covered States have and explains how to exercise those rights. To be clear, these rights are granted only to the extent that you are considered a consumer of a Covered State and we are acting as a “controller” or “business” (as applicable) under State Privacy Laws with respect to your personal data.
The categories of personal data we process, our purposes for processing your personal data, the categories of personal data that we share with third parties, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it are set forth in the terms of the Privacy Policy above.
General information regarding our collection, use, and disclosure of personal data is set forth in the Privacy Policy above.
In the past 12 months, we have collected categories of personal data described in the section of the Privacy Policy above titled Personal Data We Collect From You, we have disclosed all of these categories to service providers or contractors for business purposes as described under the heading “Service Providers” in the section titled How We Disclose or Share Your Personal Data, and we have collected this information from the sources described in the section titled How We Collect Your Personal Data. Depending on your level of interaction with us, we may not have collected your personal data from all of the categories listed in the Privacy Policy above. We collect and use your personal data for the business or commercial purposes described in the section titled How We Use Your Personal Data, and retain it pursuant to the section titled Data Retention.
With respect to Users, we may share for targeted advertising the following categories of personal data (as described in the section of the Privacy Policy titled Personal Data We Collect From You under the heading “Data We Collect About Users”) to advertising networks and analytics providers:
With respect to Report Subjects, while most of the data we collect is publicly available information, some of this data (either individually or when combined with other information) may constitute personal data. Accordingly, any categories of personal data described in the section of the Privacy Policy titled Personal Data We Collect From You under the heading “Data We Collect About Report Subjects” may be sold to Report Purchasers.
In addition to the rights set forth in our Privacy Policy, State Privacy Laws may, depending on your state of residence, provide you with the following rights:
To exercise any of your privacy rights, or if you have any questions about your privacy rights, you may contact us by emailing us at [email protected] or calling us at (877) 840‑9649. For Report Subjects that want to exercise their deletion and opt-out rights, please email us with the subject line “Remove My Information.”
With the exception of opt-out requests (which do not require verification), after submitting a request, we will take steps to verify your identity in order for us to properly respond and confirm that it is not a fraudulent request. In order to verify your identity, we will ask, at a minimum, that you provide the following information so that we can match you with the information existing in our systems: (a) if you are a User, your name and email address; and (b) if you are a Report Subject, your name, city or state of residence, mailing address, and/or phone number. When providing us this information, you represent and affirm that all information provided is true and accurate. If we are unable to verify that the consumer submitting the request is the same individual about whom we have collected personal data, we may contact you for more information, or we may not be able to meet your request.
Only you (or for California residents, an agent legally authorized to act on your behalf) may make a verifiable request to know, delete, correct, or obtain a copy of your personal data. If you are making a request as the authorized agent of a California consumer, we will ask you to also submit reliable proof that you have been authorized in writing by the consumer to act on such consumer's behalf. If you are making a request as the parent or legal guardian of a known child regarding the processing of that child's personal data, we may ask you to submit reliable proof of your identity.
We will make every effort to respond to your request within 45 days from when you contacted us. If you have a complex request, State Privacy Laws allow us up to 90 days to respond. We will contact you within 45 days from when you contacted us to inform you of the need for additional time and the reason for such extension. We may charge you a reasonable fee to cover administrative costs if your requests are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.
If we decline to take action on a request that you have submitted, we will inform you of our reasons for doing so, and provide instructions for how to appeal the decision. Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to appeal within a reasonable period of time after you have received our decision. If you have this appeal right, within 60 days (45 days for residents of Colorado and Minnesota) of our receipt of your appeal, we will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decisions. If we deny your appeal, we will provide you with a method for contacting your state attorney general's office to submit a complaint.
In addition to the above rights, under California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (“Shine the Light”), California residents may have the right to request in writing from businesses with whom they have an established business relationship: (a) a list of the categories of personal data, as defined under Shine the Light, such as name, email address, and mailing address, and the type of services provided to the customer that a business has disclosed to third parties (including affiliates that are separate legal entities) during the immediately preceding calendar year for the third parties' direct marketing purposes; and (b) the names and addresses of all such third parties. To request the above information, please contact us by email at [email protected]. If you do not want your personal data shared with any third party who may use such information for direct marketing purposes, then you may opt out of such disclosures by sending an email to us at [email protected].
