Privacy policy
Effective October 20, 2026
The short version: the answers you enter in the benefits finder never leave your browser. We don't ask for your name, we don't create accounts, and we don't sell information about you.
BenefitSearch (benefitsearch.org) is operated by Saguaro Media Group LLC.
Your answers stay on your device
The finder works entirely inside your web browser. Your answers about age, income, housing, veteran status and other details are used on your device to show matching programs. They are not sent to us or stored on our servers, and they disappear when you close or reload the page.
The only thing the site remembers is the state you pick in the search box on the home page, saved in your own browser so you don't have to choose it again. It never leaves your device, and you can clear it by clearing this site's data in your browser.
What our hosting provider records
Our website is hosted by Cloudflare. Like nearly all websites, Cloudflare automatically processes basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, to deliver the site and protect it from attacks. This does not include your answers in the finder. Cloudflare's own privacy policy describes how it handles this data.
Every page, font and script on this site is served from our own site. We don't load third-party trackers, analytics, ads, social media widgets or outside fonts, so no other company sees which pages you visit here.
Cookies
The site does not set cookies for tracking or advertising. If we add analytics or advertising in the future, we will update this policy first and explain what is collected and how to opt out.
Links to other websites
Program listings link to government agencies, utilities and nonprofits. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we don't control. Applications you submit go directly to them, not to us.
Children
This site is meant for adults looking for help for themselves or their families. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, we will post the new version here with a new effective date. For privacy questions, email contact@benefitsearch.org.
