Information You Send Directly
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is submitted to the provider that produces the search result. 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 Data
Hosting services create routine logs, including IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We use aggregate information to maintain the service and understand general page use. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.
How We Use Data
Data is used to run and maintain the service, diagnose problems, measure traffic, and improve the reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
Outside Links and Services
Links can lead to county or state portals, library collections, archives, and sponsored search services. The privacy policy of that destination governs information entered there. Sponsored results are supplied by a separate company.
When Data Is Shared
Hosting and support providers process server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
Safeguards
The service uses an encrypted connection and retains logs only for the purposes described here. There are no user accounts, passwords, or account profiles maintained by this reference.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect a minor’s personal information. If you believe a minor has sent information, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Privacy Requests
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask about, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Because this reference keeps very little, a request generally involves checking the contact mailbox and server logs, then removing eligible information. Use the Contact page to make a request. Records kept by New York state, Niagara County, or municipal custodians are outside our control; direct a removal request for those records to the responsible office.
Policy Changes
Revisions to this policy are posted here. Continued use after a revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
