Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies results; the reference does not retain a copy of the search. A direct message supplies only the information included in that message, which is used to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Hosting systems create ordinary server logs, such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. Those logs are reviewed in aggregate for operation and usage trends. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
Limited data helps operate the reference, fix faults, measure traffic, and improve the material. Visitor lists are not sold, and individual visitor profiles are not created.
External Websites
Links lead to county and state record portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their own privacy terms govern data submitted there. This includes sponsored results supplied by a third party.
Data Recipients
Hosting and support providers process server logs for operation. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed only when valid legal process requires it.
Safeguarding Information
The reference uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. Because there are no accounts, the service does not hold visitor passwords or profile records.
Visitors Under 18
The reference is for adults and is not directed to children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. Contact us if a minor may have submitted information so it can be removed.
Your Information Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data a website retains. Because this reference keeps very little, a request normally means checking the contact mailbox and relevant logs, then removing material found there. Use the Contact page to ask. Pennsylvania public records held by Township, county, or state offices are outside this reference’s control; requests concerning those records belong with the custodian under its process, including the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law, Act 3 of 2008, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101–67.3104 where applicable.
Policy Updates
