The only hint I can get is their Terms of Service are governed by California law and the courts of Santa Clara County [1]. (It also refeeences “business transfers” in its privacy policy [2], implying it’s a for-profit entity.)

Otherwise—and this is unusual for any legitimate activity—I can find no reference to any legal person anywhere on their site.

Unusual, but not as far as I know illegal or anything.

It would be unusual for an illegal operation to be

- Agreeing to the laws of a US court

- Have business transfers and be a for profit entity in that sense, hell, to even have a privacy policy.

(of course, they could also have just written that for fun)
