Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is passed to the outside provider that supplies that result experience. Our servers do not retain those queries. If you contact us, we receive the information in your message and use it to respond.
Routine Technical Data
Like most hosted services, the host may log an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review this information in aggregate for service operation and page-use patterns. Cookies or related tools can support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use the limited information for operation, error correction, aggregate traffic measurement, and content maintenance. We do not sell a visitor list or create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and external search tools. The privacy terms of each destination govern data submitted there, including information sent through sponsored result tools.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers can process routine logs for us. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automated information described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires it.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and operational logs are retained only for the needs described above. Because there are no user accounts, the site does not hold a visitor password or account profile.
Users Under 18
The reference is intended for adults and does not target children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor provided information, and we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal data held by this service. Since we retain little, a request usually concerns contact correspondence or operational logs. Send it through the Contact page. New York Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6 §§84-90, concerns agency records rather than this private service. For a public-record correction or removal question, contact the responsible town, county, state, court, or library custodian. New York's Address Confidentiality Program also protects qualifying participants through Executive Law §108.
