Information You Submit
A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies results. Our servers do not retain a separate copy of those searches. If you email us, we receive the information in that message and use it to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most hosted services, the site may receive ordinary server-log information such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. Aggregate traffic information helps maintain the service and understand which reference pages are used. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement.
How Data Is Used
We use the limited technical and contact information to operate the service, respond to messages, diagnose problems, measure general use, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services
Links lead to public offices, libraries, archives, and third-party search providers. Their practices control any information you submit after leaving this service. That includes sponsored-result providers, whose privacy terms and charges are their own.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and technical providers may process the logs needed to support the service. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information only when a valid legal requirement calls for it.
Security Measures
The service uses an encrypted connection, and technical logs are kept only for the purposes described here. Because no visitor account or password profile is offered, the site does not store a user password database.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect a minor’s personal information. Contact us if you believe a minor supplied information, and we will address the request.
Your Privacy Choices
You may ask about personal data held in a contact message or applicable technical record through the Contact page. New York Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6, governs access to records held by public agencies, not this private reference. Requests to alter a Village, Town, County, or State record must go to that record’s custodian.
Policy Changes
Any revision will appear here. Continued use after the posted revision means you accept the updated policy.
