Privacy policy

Lookup Plainly explains lookup tools, public-information limits, privacy, and opt-out steps. It does not provide consumer reports, background checks, identity verification, live search results, or regulated eligibility screening.

LookupPlainly is operated by LEGITIME DOMAINS d.o.o., Ulica Stjepana Gradića 1, 10010 Zagreb, Croatia. For privacy questions, contact us at contact@lookupplainly.com.

Depending on how the site is configured and how you use it, we or our service providers may collect or process the following categories of information:

• Technical logs, such as IP address, user agent, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location inferred from IP address, pages viewed, referring URL, timestamps, and security events
• Analytics information, if analytics are enabled, such as page views, interactions, referring pages, device data, and approximate location
• Cookie or similar-technology data, if cookies or analytics tools are enabled
• Contact information and message content you choose to send by email
• Newsletter or subscription information only if a newsletter or subscription feature is offered and you choose to use it
• Affiliate, partner, click, search, lead, or referral data when you click a partner link, submit a partner search widget, or interact with a third-party offer
• Search widget inputs when a third-party lookup widget is submitted, such as a name, state, phone number, street address, city, or email address, depending on the widget

Do not send unnecessary sensitive information or harmful-use requests to Lookup Plainly.

• Social Security numbers, full government ID numbers, passport numbers, driver's license numbers, passwords, financial account details, medical records, private records, or children's data
• Requests to identify, locate, track, confront, investigate, or verify a person
• Employment, tenant screening, credit, lending, insurance, hiring, criminal history, background check, consumer report, or other regulated screening requests
• Stalking, harassment, doxxing, threats, intimidation, impersonation, pressure, or privacy-bypass requests

Lookup Plainly may display selected third-party lookup widgets on certain guide pages. These widgets are partner forms, not Lookup Plainly search results.

When you submit a widget, the information entered into the form is sent from your browser to the third-party partner named by the form destination, along with referral or tracking fields used to attribute the visit. Lookup Plainly does not intentionally store those submitted lookup inputs on its own servers, but the partner receives them and handles them under its own terms and privacy policy.

Search widgets must not be treated as identity confirmation, live current data, complete results, consumer reports, background checks, or regulated-use screening. Do not submit sensitive data or use a widget for employment, tenant screening, credit, insurance, hiring, lending, or similar eligibility decisions.

If no widget appears on a page, that page provides educational guide content only and does not provide live search results.

We use information for limited site and publishing purposes. Depending on applicable law, these purposes may rely on legitimate interests, consent where required, performance of a requested communication, or legal compliance.

• Operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure the site
• Respond to inquiries, corrections, privacy questions, and disclosure questions
• Improve content, user experience, accessibility, and site performance
• Measure aggregate performance and understand how pages are used when analytics are enabled
• Disclose, operate, and track partner links, search widgets, referrals, and offers when present
• Prevent abuse, spam, security incidents, or misuse of the site
• Comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests

Google Analytics 4 is configured to render only when analytics is enabled for the deployment and a valid measurement ID is present. If analytics is enabled, Google Analytics may process technical and interaction data and may use cookies or similar technologies according to Google's policies.

The site does not currently run third-party display advertising scripts or paid sponsored article placements.

Selected partner lookup widgets are enabled on allowed lookup guide pages. Affiliate or referral tracking may apply when a user clicks, submits a search, signs up, purchases, or becomes a lead through a partner link, widget, or offer.

If advertising cookies, new analytics providers, new partner widgets, or materially different tracking practices are added, this policy and any required notices should be updated.

We may use third-party services to operate the site and related communications, including:

• Hosting, content delivery, security, logging, and infrastructure providers
• Analytics providers, if analytics are enabled
• Email or contact systems used to receive and respond to messages
• Affiliate, referral, or partner services for links, search widgets, lead attribution, and offers when present
• Third-party lookup, people-search, data broker, regulator, or opt-out sites linked from guides

Third-party sites and partners have their own terms, privacy policies, data practices, retention rules, and opt-out processes. Lookup Plainly does not control them.

Lookup Plainly does not sell personal lookup requests as consumer reports, does not sell identity-verification data, and does not provide consumer reports.

We may share limited information with service providers that help operate, secure, analyze, or maintain the site. Affiliate partners may receive click, referral, lead, or search-widget data if you click or submit a partner link, widget, or offer.

We retain information only as long as reasonably needed for site operation, security, analytics, legal, editorial, correction, disclosure, or communication purposes, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

Third-party partners and service providers maintain their own retention practices for information they receive directly from you or process on our behalf.

• You may limit cookies or analytics through browser settings or other privacy tools.
• You may avoid submitting partner search widgets or clicking partner links if you do not want the partner to receive referral or search data.
• You may contact us with privacy questions or requests about information you sent directly to Lookup Plainly.
• Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, delete, correct, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of certain personal information.

To make a privacy request related to Lookup Plainly, contact contact@lookupplainly.com. We may need enough information to understand and verify the request, but do not send sensitive documents unless we specifically request them through an appropriate channel.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information related to the site. No website, email channel, browser transmission, or storage system is completely secure.

Lookup Plainly is intended for a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Do not send children's data through contact channels or partner widgets.

Lookup Plainly is published in English and primarily intended for readers in the United States. If you access the site from another country, information may be processed in the United States, Croatia, or other places where our service providers or partners operate.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the revision date or other page signals as appropriate.
