Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address submitted in a search box is sent to the provider that supplies that result service. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you send a message, we use the contents only to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting services may record standard server data, including IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. It is reviewed in aggregate for operation and page-use patterns. Cookies or similar tools may also support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.
How Limited Data Is Used
Limited data helps operate the reference, resolve technical problems, measure traffic, and improve content. Visitor lists are not sold, and individual user profiles are not created.
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 be able to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data a website holds. New York research for this reference did not identify a general statewide consumer-privacy statute that creates a universal deletion right. Because this service retains very little, a request normally means checking the contact mailbox and server logs, then removing applicable information. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by New York, Suffolk County, or Town of Islip custodians remain outside our control and must be addressed to that custodian.
Updates to This Policy
Changes to this policy will appear here. Continued use after publication of a revised version indicates acceptance of that version.
