Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is passed to the third-party results provider. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the content of your message and use it only to respond.
Information Collected by Hosting
Routine host logs may include an IP address, browser details, pages requested, and timestamps. We review that information in aggregate for reliability and usage patterns. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where used, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use this limited data to operate and maintain the service, diagnose problems, understand aggregate traffic, and improve the reference. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search services. What you submit after leaving this service is governed by the destination’s own policy. Sponsored results are also provided by a separate company.
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 Requests
You may ask about personal information this service holds and request correction or deletion where applicable. Research did not identify a broad New York universal public-record deletion right; the SHIELD Act is a data-security and breach law, not a general deletion statute. Because our records are limited, a request generally involves the contact mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page. Public records held by New York, Westchester County, or Peekskill remain under the responsible custodian’s rules.
Updates to This Policy
Changes will appear on this page. Continued use after a revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
