Information You Send Directly
If you contact us, you may provide a name, email address, and the contents of your message. Use only the information needed for the question. Do not send Social Security numbers, account numbers, protected addresses, vital certificates, or other sensitive personal material.
Technical Data We Receive
Like most websites, the host and service providers may record technical information such as IP address, browser type, referring page, device information, pages viewed, and date or time. This information helps operate, secure, and measure the reference.
How We Use Information
We use direct communications to answer or manage the inquiry and use technical data to maintain, improve, secure, and understand use of the reference. We do not use the reference to publish a government resident roll or to sell official records.
External Websites
Links and search boxes can lead to County, State, library, archive, or third-party services. Those services are governed by their own privacy notices and terms. Review their policies before submitting a name, address, or other information.
When Information Is Shared
We do not sell personal information collected through a direct message. Information may be processed by hosting, analytics, search, or communications providers that help operate the reference, or disclosed when law requires it or when needed to protect people, rights, and security.
Protecting Information
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures for information in our control. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure, so do not send sensitive records through an ordinary contact message.
Visitors Under 18
The reference is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. A parent or guardian who believes a child submitted information may contact us to request review or deletion where applicable.
Your Privacy Choices
You may ask about personal information that you provided through a direct communication, subject to lawful retention and verification. New York public-record access is governed separately by the Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law sections 84 through 90, and by record-specific privacy statutes. Address confidentiality information is subject to New York Executive Law section 108 and related procedures, not an ordinary request to this reference.
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this policy when practices or legal requirements change. The current version will be posted here, and continued use after an update means that the updated policy applies.
