Information You Provide
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered into search forms are sent to the outside provider that operates the results; our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains only the information in that message and is used to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting systems may create routine logs with an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and time of access. We review aggregate patterns to maintain the reference and understand page use. Cookies or similar tools can support basic analytics and advertising measurement where applicable.
How Limited Data Is Used
Limited data helps operate the reference, resolve technical problems, measure traffic, and improve 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 Information Choices
Depending on where you live, you may be able to ask to access, correct, or delete personal information a website keeps. Because this reference keeps little information, a request normally involves the contact mailbox and available server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Government records held by New York, Nassau County, or Lynbrook offices are outside our control; direct correction or removal requests to the relevant custodian.
Updates to This Policy
Changes to this policy will appear on this page. Continued use after a change indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
