About This Site
SOSBusinessSearch.com ("we," "us," or "our") is an independent informational resource that publishes guides on how to search business entities through Secretary of State offices. We are not affiliated with any government agency. This site does not offer user accounts, registration, or any forms that collect personal information beyond what is described below.
Information We Do Not Collect
Because this is a read-only informational site, we do not collect, store, or process personal information such as names, email addresses, mailing addresses, or payment details through the site itself. There are no user registration or login features.
Advertising and Analytics (Ezoic)
This site uses Ezoic to serve and optimize advertising. Ezoic and its advertising partners — which include Google and other third-party ad networks — may use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to:
- Serve advertisements based on your prior visits to this site and other sites.
- Measure ad performance and user engagement.
- Analyze aggregate traffic patterns and optimize site layout and content.
Ezoic's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your interests. The data collected through these technologies is subject to Ezoic's own privacy practices.
For more information on how Ezoic collects and uses data, please review the Ezoic Privacy Policy.
Google Advertising and Analytics
As part of Ezoic's advertising network, Google may set cookies on your device to serve interest-based advertising across websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. For information about how Google uses data when you use our site, please see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Your Opt-Out Choices
You may opt out of interest-based advertising through the following resources:
- Google Ads Settings — manage or opt out of personalized ads served by Google.
- Digital Advertising Alliance (aboutads.info) — opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies.
- Cookie settings in your browser — see the "Cookie Control" section below.
Opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will no longer see ads; it means that ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.
Cookie Control
Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when a cookie is set. Because advertising and analytics functionality on this site depends on cookies, disabling them may affect your browsing experience.
