<p>“Do Not Track” / “Global Privacy Control”: Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can
set in certain web browsers. Additionally, some browsers or plug-ins use a “Global Privacy Control”
(“GPC”), which you can learn more about at <a href="https://globalprivacycontrol.org/">https://globalprivacycontrol.org/</a>. Please note that we do
not respond to or honor DNT signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by web browsers. However, if
our site detects a GPC signal from your device, we will interpret it as either a Do Not Sell request or a
request to limit the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising depending on the
law applicable to your jurisdiction.</p>
<p>Verification and Appeal Process: We are required by law to take reasonable steps to verify your
identity prior to responding to certain requests. Please note that your exercise of these rights is
subject to certain exemptions to safeguard the public interest (e.g., the prevention or detection of
crime) and our interests (e.g., the maintenance of legal privilege). If we are unable to process your
request via you authenticating yourself on the Site, we may verify your request by asking for information sufficient to confirm your identity, such as your name, email address, and phone number.
Requests to exercise these rights may be granted in whole, in part, or not at all, depending on the scope
and nature of the request and as permitted by applicable law. Where required by applicable law, we
will notify you if we reject your request, and notify you of the reasons we are unable to honor your
request.</p>
<p>If you are a resident of Colorado, Maryland, Kentucky, Indiana, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware,
Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, or
Virginia, you have the right to appeal a request we deny when we have verified your identity and still
decline to honor your request. The process for that appeal will be sent to you separately if your
request is denied.</p>
<p>Authorized Agent: Depending on where you live, you may have the right to use an authorized agent on
your behalf to exercise a privacy right discussed above. If you are an authorized agent acting on behalf
of a user to communicate with us or to exercise a privacy right discussed above, you must be able to
demonstrate that you have the requisite authorization to act on behalf of the user. If you are an
authorized agent trying to exercise rights on behalf of a user, then you can make a request on the
user’s behalf by contacting us as set forth below in the “Contact Information” section. Such requests
must include a written authorization from the consumer that includes the consumer’s full name,
address, telephone number and valid email address used by the consumer to interact with the Site that
is signed by the consumer and clearly bestows upon the agent the proper authority. Alternatively, an
acting agent can provide a valid power of attorney (as defined by applicable law) signed by the
consumer on the agent’s behalf and a valid email address used by the consumer to interact with the
Site. In addition, for a request under the Right to Know, Right to Delete, or Right to Correct, the email
address of the consumer will be used to separately verify the agent’s authority directly with the
consumer.</p>

<h1>9. PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION</h1>
<p>In addition to the Personal Information collected that has been detailed above, we also collect <b>Publicly
Available Information</b> or <b>Public Data</b> from various databases, government entities, commercial data
providers, and websites to create our reports and provide the products and services available on our
Site. Publicly Available Information includes information that is lawfully made available from federal,
state, or local government records and information that we reasonably believe is made available to the
general public, for example, by widely distributed media.</p>

<p>We acquire and aggregate this information about U.S. residents, which will include users and non-
users. We do not, however, include any Personal Information, including User Data and Traffic Data,
that we collect directly from users of the Site within the reports, products, and services that we
provide.</p>
<p>We collect this Publicly Available Information and make it available to consumers because we believe
that affordable and convenient access to Publicly Available Information, consistent with protections
afforded by the First Amendment, serves many valuable purposes including helping to protect, inform
and connect people. For example, parents may use our Site to learn whether a potential carpool driver
has a DUI record to protect their children’s safety. Adopted children may use our services to locate
and connect with biological family members. Consumers may use our services to inform themselves
about the criminal or traffic records of a potential online date or marketplace seller.</p>
<p>While the specific privacy rights afforded to residents of California, Colorado, Maryland, Kentucky,
Indiana, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia do not apply to this Publicly Available
Information and Public Data, we nevertheless have voluntarily elected to provide consumers with the
ability to limit the availability and display of this Publicly Available Information on our Site. To learn
more about available options with respect to your Publicly Available Information, please visit our
Privacy Center here and see the Public Data Tools.</p>
<h1>10. RIGHTS AVAILABLE TO SPECIFIED COVERED PERSONS SUCH AS JUDGES
AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS</h1>

law enforcement officers, elected officials, prosecutors and public defenders, and certain of their
family members and cohabitants to limit the display of certain information about them from appearing

laws. If you are a person covered by one of these laws and would like to exercise available rights, you
