Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that returns the result. Our own servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting systems create ordinary logs, such as IP address, browser type, page views, and timestamps. We review this information in aggregate for security, operation, and general readership patterns. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where used, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
We use limited technical and contact information to run the service, diagnose problems, measure aggregate traffic, and improve the reference. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
Links lead to records portals, libraries, archives, and third-party search services. Their own privacy notices apply to information submitted on those destinations. That includes the sponsored-result provider displayed in the search areas.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Providers that host or support the reference may process the server-log information described above. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the same automatic data. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires it.
Safeguards and Retention
The reference uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. There are no site accounts, so this reference does not hold a visitor password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent us information, contact us so it can be deleted.
Your Information Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data a website keeps. Because this reference holds very little, a request usually means checking the contact mailbox and server logs, then removing applicable material. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Massachusetts state, county, or municipal offices are outside our control, and requests about those records belong with the custodian.
Policy Changes
A revised policy will be posted here. Continued use of the reference after posting means acceptance of the updated terms.
