Information You Send
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that supplies that result service. Our servers do not retain a separate copy of those search entries. A message sent to us contains the information you choose to include, and we use it to answer the message.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most hosted services, the site receives routine server-log information, including an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and time stamps. We review aggregate activity to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement where used.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate the service, diagnose problems, measure aggregate traffic, and improve reference pages. We do not sell lists of visitors 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
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
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 Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to seek access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information a service holds. Because this site retains little, we can review the contact mailbox and applicable logs for a request sent through the Contact page. New York public records held by Town, county, or state custodians are outside our control; requests about those records belong with the office that holds them.
Changes to This Policy
We post revisions to this policy here. Continuing to use the service after a revision means you accept the current version.
