Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies its results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the information in your message and use it to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Our host records ordinary technical logs, including IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregated information to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.
What We Do With This Data
We use this limited data to run the service, correct problems, measure aggregate traffic, and improve its content. We do not sell visitor lists 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 service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the needs described above. Because there are no user accounts, we do not maintain a visitor password or account profile.
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 Data Rights
Depending on the law that applies, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data a website retains. New York's Personal Privacy Protection Law, Public Officers Law Article 6-A, addresses state-agency personal-information practices; New York General Business Law ยง899-bb requires reasonable safeguards for certain computerized private information. Because we keep little, a request usually involves checking the contact mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. A public record held by a New York, Schenectady County, or Glenville custodian must be addressed to that office.
Updates to This Policy
We will post revisions to this policy here. Continued use after a revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
