The question and answer about the info you entered

Q.

(This was an actual e-mail)

To whom it may concern:

What are your policies regarding information submitted by individuals at
your website?

The search portion of your site gathers names, birth years and the
first three digits of the U.S. assigned Social Security number.  Having
just used that portion of your site, I respectfully request that you
delete any reference to my Social Security number (including any digits)
- I mistakenly used your site thinking it was a United States government
site.

Please respond promptly.

Thank you for considering my request.

The purpose of this search is for fun and entertainment purposes only, not for tracking stats about our users. The social security # part is just JavaScript and only you can see it. There is no info. that we can delete.
