Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is passed to the third-party provider that supplies results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we use the contents of your message only to respond.
Automatically Collected Details
Like most hosted services, the site records standard server-log details such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We review aggregate patterns to maintain the service and understand usage. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where applicable.
How Information Is Used
Information supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We do not sell visitor lists or create profiles of individual readers.
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.
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 Choices
You may ask us to review, correct, or delete personal data we retain. Because this service keeps little, requests usually involve the contact mailbox or server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. New York’s Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6, §§84–90, governs requests to government custodians, not removal from our reference pages. Records held by Town of Lockport, Niagara County, or New York offices must be addressed to the relevant custodian.
Policy Updates
Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use after a posted update signifies acceptance of the revised policy.
