Data You Give Us Directly
What you type into the search forms (a name, a phone number, or an address) goes to the third-party provider that powers the results; our own servers keep no copy of your searches. If you write to us, we see only what your message contains and use it to reply.
Data Collected Automatically
Hosting may create ordinary server logs, including IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We use aggregate information to maintain the service and understand use of its pages. Cookies or similar technologies may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How We Use Data
We use this information to operate the service, resolve problems, measure traffic, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to Monroe County, New York State, library, archive, and third-party search services. Their policies govern information submitted to them. The same is true for sponsored search results provided by another 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 Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data a website keeps. Because this service keeps little, requests generally involve the contact mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. New York public records remain under the control of their Town, County, State, or court custodian. New York's Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law §§84–90, does not alter separate confidentiality rules such as the Address Confidentiality Program or voter protections.
Updates to This Policy
Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
