Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is submitted to the third-party provider that delivers the result function. The reference's own servers do not retain a copy of that query. A message sent to us contains the information supplied in that message and is used to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Hosting systems may create ordinary server logs, such as IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregated information to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or related technology may support basic analytics and, where relevant, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
The limited data supports operation, fault correction, aggregate traffic measurement, and improvements to the reference. We do not sell visitor lists or construct individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to Onondaga County and New York portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their policies govern information submitted after leaving this reference. That includes sponsored search results provided by a third party.
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 Data Rights
Visitors may request access, correction, or deletion of personal data a website retains, subject to applicable law. Because this reference retains very little, requests normally concern the contact mailbox or server logs. Use the Contact page to make a request. New York public records held by state, county, or city custodians are outside our control; requests about those records belong with the responsible office. New York FOIL governs public-record access, not this private reference's operation.
Updates to This Policy
Policy revisions will appear here. Continued use after a posted revision indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
