The Core Principle: We Don't Save Your Searches
We want to be unequivocally clear: We do not store, save, log, or share the names you enter into our search tool. Your search query is processed in real-time to generate your result and is then immediately discarded. It is never written to a database or log file. We believe your curiosity should be private, and we have built our system from the ground up to respect that.
