Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains the details you choose to include and is used to answer the message.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting records routine log information, such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time. We review it in aggregate for maintenance and page-use trends. Cookies or related tools may support basic analytics and, where used, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
That limited data supports operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers process the applicable server data for us. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Disclosure occurs only when valid legal process requires it.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Information Choices
You may ask about personal information this site holds and request correction or deletion where applicable. New York's Personal Privacy Protection Law, Public Officers Law Article 6-A ยงยง91-99, governs personal-information practices of state agencies; it does not make this private reference the custodian of government records. Because we retain little, a request usually means checking the contact mailbox and server logs, then removing applicable information. Use the Contact page. Requests concerning state, county, or town records must go to the office that holds them.
Updates to This Policy
Revisions are posted here. Continued use after a posted revision signifies acceptance of the updated policy.
