Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is submitted to the third-party service that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains only the information included in that message, and it is used to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting services create standard logs, such as an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We use grouped information to maintain the service and understand broad page use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where relevant, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
The limited data described above helps operate the service, diagnose problems, measure aggregate traffic, and improve the reference material. We do not sell visitor lists or create personal visitor profiles.
External Services
Links lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. The policy of the destination service controls any information sent there, including information submitted through sponsored search results.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process the applicable server logs. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic technical data described above. Information is disclosed outside those uses only when valid legal process requires it.
Security and Retention
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only as long as needed for the purposes described here. There are no user accounts, passwords, or visitor profiles maintained by this reference.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor has sent information, and we will delete it.
Your Information Choices
Depending on where a visitor lives, law may provide rights to ask for access, correction, or deletion of a website's personal data. Because this service maintains very little, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and applicable logs, then removing information we locate where appropriate. Use the Contact page to make a request. Pennsylvania public records are controlled by their government custodian, including records subject to the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law, not by this private reference.
Policy Changes
A revised policy will be posted here. Continued use after publication of a change indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
