Information You Submit
A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search box is submitted to the outside provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those search terms. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Automatically Collected Details
Hosting systems create routine server logs, such as an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review this information in aggregate to maintain the service and understand use patterns. Cookies or similar tools can support basic analytics and advertising measurement where applicable.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate the service, resolve technical issues, measure traffic, and improve its pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites
Links lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. The privacy terms of those services control information submitted there. That includes sponsored results supplied by a third party.
Data Recipients
Providers that host and support the service process logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners can receive the automatic information described above. Information is disclosed only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
Protecting Information
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes stated above. Because there are no accounts, the service does not hold a visitor password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
The service is for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from someone under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor sent information so it can be removed.
Your Information Choices
You may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data that a service holds about you. New York does not have one broadly applicable comprehensive consumer-privacy deletion statute for every website; rights can depend on sector and other laws. Since we retain very little, we can check the contact mailbox and server logs for a request. Use the Contact page. Public records held by New York, Niagara County, or Niagara Falls are controlled by their custodians, not by this service.
