Information You Submit
A name, telephone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the information included in your message and use it to respond.
Automatically Collected Details
Routine hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. We review this in aggregate to operate the service and understand which references are used. Cookies or related technologies may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Data Is Used
We use the limited data described above to run the service, address technical problems, measure traffic, and improve the reference material. 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.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and technical service providers may process logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners can receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed when required by valid legal process and not for unrelated purposes.
Safeguards and Retention
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operating purposes described here. There are no site accounts, passwords, or visitor profiles maintained by this reference.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If you believe a minor sent information to us, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Privacy Requests
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data held by a service. Because we keep very little, a request generally involves reviewing the contact mailbox and applicable logs, then removing what is found where appropriate. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by New York, Saratoga County, or Halfmoon custodians are outside our control and must be addressed through that custodian’s process. New York FOIL, Public Officers Law Article 6, governs access to agency records; it does not create a private-site deletion request for those records.
Policy Changes
Updates to this policy will appear here. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the revised policy.
