A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies its results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those queries. If you contact us, we receive the information included in your message and use it to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting records standard technical logs, including an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate patterns to maintain the service and understand use. Cookies or related technologies may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
We use this limited data to operate and improve the service, diagnose issues, and measure aggregate traffic. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services
The reference links to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. The policies of those destinations govern information submitted to them. This also applies to sponsored results supplied by a third party.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Providers that host or support the service process technical logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires it.
Safeguards
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes described above. There are no accounts, passwords, or visitor profiles maintained by this site.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If you believe a minor sent us information, contact us so it can be deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data a website holds. New York’s SHIELD Act, General Business Law §899-aa and related provisions, addresses safeguards and breach notification for computerized private information. Because we retain very little, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and server logs and removing what we find. Use the Contact page. Public records held by New York, Tompkins County, or Ithaca custodians remain under those custodians’ control.
