Information You Send
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search box is submitted to the outside provider that supplies results, not retained as a search history by our servers. If you contact us, we receive the contents of that message and use them to respond.
Data We Gather Automatically
Hosting services may log an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We review that information in aggregate for reliability and page use. Cookies or similar tools can support basic measurement and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
That limited information helps run the reference, resolve technical issues, measure traffic, and improve pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
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
Hosting and support providers process the ordinary logs described above. Analytics or advertising partners may receive automatic data. Information is disclosed only when valid legal process requires it.
How We Protect Your Data
The reference uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes described here. No site account, password, or visitor profile is created.
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 Data Rights
Depending on residence, a visitor may have rights to ask about, correct, or delete personal data a website keeps. Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law, Act 3 of 2008, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101 et seq., governs access to covered public agency records, not a deletion process for them. Because this reference keeps little visitor data, requests usually concern a contact message or server log. Use the Contact page. A record held by a Pennsylvania, Montgomery County, or Township custodian must be addressed to that 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.
