Welcome to PublicRecordsData.us. By accessing or using the PublicRecordsData.us website (the "Platform"), however accessed or used, you agree to be bound by the following terms (the "Terms of Service" or the "Agreement"), which constitutes a legally binding contract between the operator of this Platform ("Public Records," "Company," " we," or " us") and you, governing your use of the Platform.

About The Services

What We Do

Public Records provides comprehensive public records and reports, such as property and vehicle records, court records, and public information (collectively, “Reports”) that help you make informed decisions. We acquire our public records and reports from third parties that aggregate public records from government agencies. Because human errors may occur when information is entered into those government records, we assume no liability for those errors and suggest you confirm information with the appropriate government agency.

What We Don't Do

The platform is not intended to provide you with any financial, legal, accounting, investment, or related advice of any kind. The reports are public records, and no investigation is made into their accuracy. We do not create the reports/records and have no ability to correct the information reported thereon. The reports you access using this platform are not intended to be a substitute for professional guidance, including but not limited to legal or investment advice, or as a substitute for the services provided by a licensed professional. This platform does not provide consumer reports and is not a government-affiliated agency or consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). You may not use our service or the information it provides to make decisions about consumer credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose that would require FCRA compliance. You acknowledge by accepting these terms that you understand that this service and the reports you access using this service should not be used as a substitute for professional guidance including but not limited to legal or investment advice or as a substitute for the services provided by a licensed professional.

If you do not understand this Agreement, or do not agree to be bound by it or our Privacy Policy , you may not access or use the Platform, and you must immediately cease accessing or using the Platform.

Accessibility

We strive to make our services accessible to users with disabilities. If you require accommodation, please email us at support@publicrecordsdata.us or contact us by phone at 1-855-601-5805.

Payment Terms

You may purchase services from Public Records Data either as a one-time payment or by entering into a finite installment arrangement, which splits the total purchase price into a set number of scheduled payments. By selecting an installment option at checkout or otherwise, you acknowledge and agree to all of the following:

  1. Total Purchase Price & Finite Payments
    The total amount you will pay for the services is fixed at checkout. If you choose an installment arrangement, the total price is divided into a specified number of installments, and once all installments are paid in full, no additional charges will apply.
  2. Valid Payment Account
    To purchase services, you must provide a valid and current payment method (a “payment account”), such as a credit card or debit card. Some payment methods (e.g., paypal) may be processed by third-party services, and you agree to their respective terms and privacy policies when using such options. If your payment account information is insufficient, inaccurate, or outdated, we may decline your transaction and, where applicable, restrict your access to the platform or the services.
  3. Scheduled Installment Charges
    By selecting an installment option, you authorize us to charge your payment account for each installment as it becomes due, without requiring additional consent for subsequent charges. All installments will be charged according to the payment schedule set forth in your order or checkout confirmation.
  4. Automatic Conclusion
    Your obligation ends automatically once the final installment has been successfully charged. No further billing will be assessed beyond the total, fixed price disclosed at checkout.
  5. Late Payments & Non-Payment
    If we are unable to process a scheduled installment, we may, at our discretion, suspend or limit your access to our services until the outstanding amount is paid. You remain responsible for any unpaid installments.
  6. Refund Policy
    Your obligation ends automatically once the final installment has been successfully charged. No further billing will be assessed beyond the total, fixed price disclosed at checkout.
  7. Transaction Descriptions
    Transactions may appear on your payment statements as “publicrecordsata.us” or a similar identifier. If you need to update or change your payment account or have questions about installments, please contact us (see “contact us” above).
  8. Dispute Resolution
    You agree to resolve any disputes through binding individual arbitration, waiving any right to a jury trial or to join class action claims (see “Dispute Resolution” below).

Third-Party Services

The platform may be linked with the services of third parties (“third party services”), some of whom may have established relationships with public records and some of whom do not. Public Records Data does not have control over the content and performance of third-party services. Public records has not reviewed, and cannot review or control, all of the material, including computer software or other goods or services, made available on third-party services. Accordingly, Public Records Data does not represent, warrant, or endorse any third-party services, or the accuracy, currency, content, fitness, lawfulness, or quality of the information, material, goods, or services available through third-party services.

Intellectual Property

Public Records, the Public Records Data logo, Public Records Data’s website domain(s), and all content and other materials available through the platform (collectively, the “company ip”) are the trademarks, copyrights, and intellectual property of and owned by Public Records Data or its licensors and suppliers. Neither your use of the platform nor this agreement grant you any right, title, or interest in, or any license to reproduce or otherwise use, the company ip. You shall not at any time, nor shall you assist others to, challenge public records’s right, title, or interest in, or the validity of, the company ip.

Claims Of Copyright Infringement

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.
  2. Identification of the material that you claim is infringing and needs to be removed, including a description of where it is located on the platform so that the copyright agent can locate it.

Notices of copyright infringement claims should be sent to: support@publicrecordsdata.us

Dispute Resolution

This section significantly affects how any disputes must be resolved. This section applies to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

  1. Informal Resolution

    We prioritize customer service and request that you seek to resolve any issues by first contacting our customer service using the “contact us” information above.

  2. Arbitration

    You and public records agree that all claims must be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court with a judge and/or jury. “Claim(s)” means any dispute between the parties or their owners or agents (who shall be third-party beneficiaries of this provision) arising out of, related to, or in connection with this agreement, the platform, or public records. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. If you and public records cannot resolve a claim through negotiations, the claim shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration as follows:

    All claims arising from or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration administered by JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) under its Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards and Streamlined Rules (collectively, "JAMS Rules"), except as modified below. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this provision.

  3. Filing fees and costs

    • Consumer Filing Fee: If you initiate arbitration, you will pay a $250 filing fee (waived if you qualify for a fee waiver under JAMS Policy).
    • Company Obligations: Public Records will pay all other arbitration fees, including JAMS Case Management Fees, arbitrator compensation, and hearing costs, unless the arbitrator determines your claim is frivolous, in which case you may be required to reimburse Public Records for fees incurred.
    • Mass Arbitration: For 25+ similar claims ("Mass Arbitration"), the parties opt into JAMS’ Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines (effective May 1, 2024). Public Records will pay $5,000 of the $7,500 Process Administrator fee, and claims will be coordinated by a single JAMS-appointed Process Administrator to resolve procedural issues efficiently.

  4. Attorneys' Fees

    Each party bears its own attorneys’ fees and costs unless (a) a statute authorizes fee-shifting for the claim, or (b) the arbitrator sanctions a party for bad-faith conduct under JAMS Rule 24(h).

  5. Location and process

    • Unless otherwise agreed in writing by you and Public Records, the arbitration will take place at the U.S. JAMS location nearest to your city of residence at the time the arbitration is filed.
    • Hearings will occur via videoconference unless in-person proceedings are necessary.
    • The arbitrator may award the same relief available in court and must issue a written decision with findings of fact and conclusions of law.

  6. Class Action Waiver

    CLAIMS MUST BE ARBITRATED INDIVIDUALLY, NOT AS CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OR AWARD RELIEF TO ANYONE EXCEPT THE PARTIES.

  7. Small Claims and Opt-Out

    • You may sue in small claims court for disputes within its jurisdiction.
    • To opt out of arbitration, email support@publicrecordsdata.us within 30 days of agreeing to these Terms with "Arbitration Opt-Out" in the subject line.

  8. Enforceability

    If any part of this clause is invalid, the remainder remains enforceable. Challenges to arbitrability shall be decided by a court, not the arbitrator.

  9. Remedies in Aid of Arbitration

    This agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or public records from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including without limitation orders to stay a court action, compel arbitration, or confirm an arbitral award, from a court of competent jurisdiction. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or public records from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary. “Court of competent jurisdiction” means any federal or state court that has jurisdiction over the subject matter and that is located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

  10. Conduct of Arbitrator

    The arbitrator must follow applicable federal and nevada law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Either party may litigate to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to modify, confirm, vacate, or enter judgment on the arbitrator’s award. Any such litigation to compel arbitration shall occur in the courts of the state of nevada, specifically within clark county.

    The arbitrator’s award will consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim. The award will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

    The arbitrator may award the same damages or other relief available in court.

  11. Governing Law And Venue

    Subject to the above provisions regarding the federal arbitration act, this agreement, including without limitation this agreement’s interpretation, shall be treated as though this agreement were executed and performed in Nevada and shall be exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Nevada without regard to its conflict of law principles. The language in this agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party.

  12. Survival

    The requirement to submit disputes to arbitration shall survive termination of this agreement.

Your total damages, if any, shall be limited to your recovery of the amounts you have actually paid to us for the services during the term of this agreement. This limitation shall apply regardless of whether the damages arise out of breach of contract, tort, or any other legal theory or form of action. You agree that this limitation of liability represents a reasonable allocation of risk and is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between Public Records Data and you.

The indemnified parties reserve the right, at their own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the indemnified parties.

Application of Disclaimers

Public Records Data’s licensors and suppliers are intended third-party beneficiaries of these disclaimers, waivers, and limitations.

Privacy Notice

Last Updated: June 5, 2026

PublicRecordsData.us (“we”, “our”, or “us”) understands that privacy is important to our users. This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding the collection, use, sharing, and protection of your personal data for the website located at www.publicrecordsdata.us (the “Website”); and the various data reporting services that we offer on the Website (the “Services”) (the Website and Services together, the “Properties”). This Privacy Policy also tells you about the rights and choices you have with respect to your personal data, how you can assert those rights, and how you can contact us to get answers to your questions.

This Privacy Policy discusses our personal data processing practices both with respect to individuals who visit our Website and/or use our Services (“Users”) and individuals who are the subject of—or are otherwise named in—reports generated by our Services (“Report Subjects”). For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the terms “you,” “user,” “consumer,” and “individual” are used as appropriate for the relevant legal framework and all refer to the User or Report Subject (as applicable) whose personal data is processed.

Please note that our privacy practices are subject to the applicable laws of the regions in which we operate. Accordingly, some additional region-specific terms will only apply to individuals in those locations, or as required by applicable laws.

For more information about how users with disabilities can access this Privacy Policy in an alternative format, please email us at support@publicrecordsdata.us with the subject line “Disability Access.”

BY USING OR ACCESSING THE PROPERTIES, YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH OUR POLICIES OR PRACTICES, YOU SHOULD NOT USE OR ACCESS THE PROPERTIES OR PROVIDE US WITH ANY PERSONAL DATA.

The following links will take you directly to the corresponding sections of this Privacy Policy:

1. Personal data we collect from You

Personal Data; Deidentified Data; and Publicly Available Information

This Privacy Policy applies to the personal data that we obtain in various contexts. We use the term “personal data” – also called “personal information” or “personally identifiable information” in the laws of some jurisdictions – to refer to information that reasonably identifies, relates to, describes, or can be associated with you.

Personal data does not include data that is deidentified or that otherwise cannot reasonably be related back to a specific person (“deidentified data”). Additionally, personal data does not include information that is lawfully made available from federal, state, or local government records, or that we have a reasonable basis to believe was lawfully made available to the general public by the relevant individuals themselves or from widely distributed media (collectively, “publicly available information”).

Because deidentified data and publicly available information are not considered personal data, we may collect, use, and disclose this data for any purpose permitted by law. However, in some instances, we may combine deidentified data or publicly available information with personal data, and if we do, the combined information will be treated by us as personal data to the extent that it is capable of personally identifying you.

Data we collect about users

If you are a user, the following are the categories and types of personal data that we or our third-party partners may collect from or about you, depending on how you interact with the Properties:

  • Identifiers and contact information, such as your name, email address, and account username;
  • Commercial information, such as your payment card information (processed securely by third-party payment processors) and records of your purchases;

  • Inferences about your internet activity; and
  • Any other personal data that you voluntarily provide us.

Data we collect about report subjects

If you are a Report Subject, the majority of data that we collect about you constitutes publicly available information. This information includes: property owner's name, property address, property characteristics, property value, and liens. As individual elements, this information may be considered publicly available. However, when we compile and compare sets of publicly available information to form inferences or draw new conclusions about the underlying individuals, the resulting information may be considered personal data.

Accordingly, we may collect or infer the following categories and types of personal data about you or your relatives:

  • Identifiers and contact information, such as phone number and address history;
  • Characteristics, such as approximate age or date of birth;
  • Commercial information, such as records of property purchases;
  • Geolocation or other information that permits us to determine the location of properties;
  • Inferences made from publicly available information, such as relationship patterns between individuals.

4. How we disclose or share your personal data

In addition to using your personal data ourselves for the reasons stated above (and as otherwise mentioned in this Privacy Policy), we may disclose your personal data to other affiliates and entities in the following instances:

Purchaser of Reports

If you are a Report Subject, we may share your personal data with Users who purchase reports on our Properties (“Report Purchasers”). Our Terms of Service prohibit Report Purchasers from using your information to make decisions about consumer credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose that would constitute a “consumer report” under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Service providers

We may share your personal data with third-party service providers who may use your information to provide us with services including, but not limited to: website hosting, certain data analytics services, infrastructure provision, information technology services, customer service, email delivery services, payment processing, auditing, and anti-fraud monitoring. These service providers may have access to personal data that is necessary to perform their functions, but they are only permitted to do so in connection with performing services for us. They are not authorized by us to use the information for their own benefit.

Corporate AFfiliates

We may share personal data with our corporate affiliates and subsidiaries, who process personal data on our behalf, where necessary to provide a product or service that you have requested, or in other circumstances with your consent or as permitted or required by law.

Business and Advertising Partners

We may share your personal data with third parties who partner with us to promote products and services, provide marketing and advertisements, conduct data analytics, or use the data for other commercial purposes. We do not control how these third parties use and share your personal data once they receive it. You will need to contact such third parties directly for information about their privacy practices or to exercise any rights you may have (including if you would like to opt-out of marketing messages).

Legal Compliance and to defend our rights

We may disclose personal data and other information as we believe necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) to respond to requests from public and government authorities including public and government authorities outside your country of residence; (d) to enforce our terms and conditions; (e) to protect our operations or those of any of our affiliates; (f) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you, or others; and (g) to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.

Business Transfers

We may share your personal data and other information with third parties in connection with a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of the assets of the Company, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which the assets transferred may include information about the users of our Properties.

Please note that if you specifically consent to additional uses of your personal data, we may use your personal data in a manner consistent with that consent.

5. Links to other sites and services

We may create links to other websites that we think may be of interest to you, such as providers of various products and services. We may also provide links that allow you to send or forward a post from our Properties through or to third-party social media sites, or other means of electronic communication, such as an email or text messaging service. We do not endorse any other websites, providers, or services by providing such links, and this Privacy Policy applies only to your use of our Properties. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of any websites and services we link to on our Properties, and you should read the privacy policies of each site you visit to determine what data that site may collect about you.

6. Targeted Advertising

We may ourselves, or with third-party vendors, use your information to deliver targeted advertising to you when you visit our Properties or other websites. Cookies, clickstream data, and other similar technologies described below may be used in this process. For example, if you are searching for information on a particular product, we or our vendor may cause an advertisement to appear on other websites you view with information on that product. This form of advertising, sometimes called “interest-based advertising,” “online behavioral advertising,” or “cross-context behavioral advertising,” enables us and our vendors to know about your interests in connection with the delivery of a specific ad. We believe that such advertising is helpful because it allows you to see advertisements that are relevant to your interests.

If you would like to opt out of these targeted advertisements, please follow the opt-out process described in the section titled Your Choices below.

We may use your information to help us, or our third-party vendors, determine if you have interacted with our Properties across multiple devices and to match such devices. To accomplish this, we may rely on information (including demographic, geographic and interest-based data) from third parties such as data vendors, pursuant to their own privacy policies, or we may use information we collect in conjunction with such third-party data. Based on this data, we may then display targeted advertisements across devices that we believe are associated with each other, and may further provide services to our advertisers to better enable cross-device targeting and analysis. To opt-out of or restrict our use of certain cross-device data, please see the section titled Your Choices below.

7. How we protect your personal data

Personal data is maintained on our servers or those of our vendors, and is accessible by authorized employees, independent contractors, representatives, and agents as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We use reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to promote the security of our systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of personal data. However, no method of safeguarding information is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will be effective or sufficient. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us of the problem by using the information in the section below titled Contacting Us.

8. Data retention

We will retain your personal data for as long as your inquiry is active or as needed to provide you with the Properties, and for a reasonable time thereafter in accordance with our standard procedures or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Even if we delete some or all of your information, we may continue to retain and use anonymous or aggregate data, or any other data that constitutes non-personal data. While deletion is pending, we may securely store your personal data in backup archives in accordance with our routine data backup procedures, and if we do so, your data will be securely stored and isolated from any further processing until deletion is possible.

9. Your choices

Consistent with applicable law, you may exercise the choices described in this section regarding your personal data and communications from us. You may also have certain additional rights available depending on laws in your state or country of residence, as described further below in the Privacy Policy.

Remove My information

If you want to have information or records about you or your property removed from availability on our website, you may submit a request via our Remove My Information form. Although your request will be processed immediately, there may be a delay of up to 48 hours to complete your request due to browser caching. Please note that your request extends only to our Properties, and will not cause your information to be removed from any public or private databases that we have obtained your information from.

Cookies and tracking technologies

If you would like to stop or restrict the placement of cookies or flush any cookies that may already be on your computer or device, please refer to and adjust your web browser preferences. Further information on cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org. By deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our Properties or some of their functionality may be affected. Note that cookie-based opt-outs must be performed on each device and browser on which you wish to opt out. For example, if you have opted out on your device browser, that opt-out will not be effective on your mobile device. Be advised that cookie-based opt-outs are not effective on some mobile services.

Targeted Advertising

You may opt out of receiving targeted ads from certain data and advertising partners that participate in certain industry self-regulatory programs. The DAA provides a website at www.aboutads.info/consumers with information about how to opt out of targeted advertising from some or all of the DAA's participating companies. Please note that by opting out, you will continue to see generic advertising that is not tailored to your specific interests and activities. In the event that we perform cross-device matching (as described above), once you have opted out on one device (“Opted-Out Device”), we will not use any new data from the Opted-Out Device to identify you on another device for targeted advertising purposes, and we will not use data from another device for targeted advertising purposes on the Opted-Out Device.

For targeted advertisements delivered through mobile apps, users may opt out of certain ads or reset advertising identifiers via their device settings. To learn how to limit ad tracking or to reset the advertising identifier on your iOS and Android device, visit the following links:

Finally, the NAI provides information about how to opt out of targeted advertising on your web browser, mobile device, and smart TV or streaming device. For more information on how to opt out of targeted advertising in these different environments, visit the following links:

If you are a resident of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Delaware, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, Minnesota, Maryland, Indiana, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Oklahoma, or another U.S. state that has similar comprehensive privacy legislation (collectively, “Covered States”), you may have specific rights regarding your personal data under: the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Colorado Privacy Act, Connecticut Data Privacy Act, Utah Consumer Privacy Act, Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act, Iowa Consumer Data Protection Act, Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act, Nebraska Data Privacy Act, New Hampshire Data Privacy Act, New Jersey Data Privacy Act, Tennessee Information Protection Act, Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, Maryland Online Data Privacy Act, Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act, Kentucky Consumer Data Protection Act, Rhode Island Data Transparency and Privacy Protection Act, Oklahoma Data Privacy Act, and similar laws in other U.S. states (collectively, "State Privacy Laws"). This section describes the rights that consumers of Covered States have and explains how to exercise those rights. To be clear, these rights are granted only to the extent that you are considered a consumer of a Covered State and we are acting as a “controller” or “business” (as applicable) under State Privacy Laws with respect to your personal data.

The categories of personal data we process, our purposes for processing your personal data, the categories of personal data that we share with third parties, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it are set forth in the terms of the Privacy Policy above.

General information regarding our collection, use, and disclosure of personal data is set forth in the Privacy Policy above.

In the past 12 months, we have collected categories of personal data described in the section of the Privacy Policy above titled Personal Data We Collect From You, we have disclosed all of these categories to service providers or contractors for business purposes as described under the heading “Service Providers” in the section titled How We Disclose or Share Your Personal Data, and we have collected this information from the sources described in the section titled How We Collect Your Personal Data. Depending on your level of interaction with us, we may not have collected your personal data from all of the categories listed in the Privacy Policy above.

  • Geolocation information

With respect to Report Subjects, while most of the data we collect is publicly available information, some of this data (either individually or when combined with other information) may constitute personal data. Accordingly, any categories of personal data described in the section of the Privacy Policy titled Personal Data We Collect From You under the heading “Data We Collect About Report Subjects” may be sold to Report Purchasers.

For Report Subjects that want to exercise their deletion and opt-out rights, please visit our Remove My Information form.

With the exception of opt-out requests (which do not require verification), after submitting a request, we will take steps to verify your identity in order for us to properly respond and confirm that it is not a fraudulent request. In order to verify your identity, we will ask, at a minimum, that you provide the following information so that we can match you with the information existing in our systems: (a) if you are a User, your name and email address; and (b) if you are a Report Subject, your name, city or state of residence, mailing address, and/or phone number. When providing us this information, you represent and affirm that all information provided is true and accurate. If we are unable to verify that the consumer submitting the request is the same individual about whom we have collected personal data, we may contact you for more information, or we may not be able to meet your request.

Only you (or for California residents, an agent legally authorized to act on your behalf) may make a verifiable request to know, delete, correct, or obtain a copy of your personal data. If you are making a request as the authorized agent of a California consumer, we will ask you to also submit reliable proof that you have been authorized in writing by the consumer to act on such consumer's behalf. If you are making a request as the parent or legal guardian of a known child regarding the processing of that child's personal data, we may ask you to submit reliable proof of your identity.

Response time; Your right to appeal

We will make every effort to respond to your request within 45 days from when you contacted us. If you have a complex request, State Privacy Laws allow us up to 90 days to respond. We will contact you within 45 days from when you contacted us to inform you of the need for additional time and the reason for such extension. We may charge you a reasonable fee to cover administrative costs if your requests are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.

If we decline to take action on a request that you have submitted, we will inform you of our reasons for doing so, and provide instructions for how to appeal the decision. Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to appeal within a reasonable period of time after you have received our decision. If you have this appeal right, within 60 days (45 days for residents of Colorado and Minnesota) of our receipt of your appeal, we will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decisions. If we deny your appeal, we will provide you with a method for contacting your state attorney general's office to submit a complaint.
