Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that returns results; our servers do not retain a copy of the search. A message sent to us contains only the information supplied in that message and is used to respond.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our hosting keeps ordinary server logs: IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We look at this in aggregate to keep the site healthy and to see which pages readers use. Cookies or similar technologies may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate the reference, resolve technical issues, measure traffic, and improve the pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create profiles of individual visitors.
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
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask about personal data a website keeps. Pennsylvania research for this directory did not identify an enacted statewide comprehensive consumer-privacy statute that creates a universal deletion right. Because this reference retains very little, requests generally concern a contact message or server log. Use the Contact page. Official records held by Pennsylvania, Erie County, or municipal custodians are outside our control and must be addressed to the custodian.
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.
