Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is handled by the third-party service that supplies results; our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Automatically Collected Details
Routine hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review this information in aggregate to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or similar tools may also support basic analytics and, when used, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate the service, address technical issues, measure overall traffic, and improve the reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites and Portals
Links can lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, or sponsored search services. The policy of the destination service governs anything submitted there. That includes data entered into a third-party search tool.
Parties That May Process Data
Hosting and support providers process server logs to operate the site. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose data only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
Safeguards and Retention
The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. There are no visitor accounts, passwords, or site-hosted profiles to expose.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor sent us information, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Information Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data a website retains. New York has no single comprehensive enacted consumer data-privacy statute identified in the research for this purpose. Because this site keeps little information, a request generally concerns the contact mailbox or server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records maintained by New York, Onondaga County, or DeWitt offices remain under the control of their custodian.
Policy Updates
Changes to this policy will appear here. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
