Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is handled by the third-party provider that supplies results, not stored as a copy of your search by this site. If you contact us, we receive the contents of that message and use them to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting services may retain ordinary logs such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We use aggregated information to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and, where relevant, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use this limited data to operate the service, troubleshoot, measure traffic, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Town, county, state, archive, library, or third-party search services. The policy of the destination site governs information you provide there, including any sponsored search result supplied by another company.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers process logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose data only when valid legal process requires disclosure or as otherwise permitted by law.
How We Protect Your Data
The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes described here. Because there are no user accounts, this site does not hold an account password or user profile for visitors.
Users Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not designed for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18; contact us if you believe a minor has sent information so it can be removed.
Your Data Rights
You may ask about personal data this site retains. New York’s Personal Privacy Protection Law, Public Officers Law Article 6-A §§91-99, addresses agency privacy duties and data-subject access, while FOIL is in Public Officers Law Article 6, especially §89. Research found no enacted comprehensive New York consumer privacy deletion law that gives a general right to erase accurate public records. Because this site keeps very little, requests usually concern a contact message or technical log. Use the Contact page to ask. A public record held by a Town, county, or state custodian must be addressed to that custodian.
Updates to This Policy
Changes to this policy will appear on this page. Continuing to use the site after a revision means you accept the revised policy.
