Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search box is sent to the third-party results provider. The reference’s own servers do not retain a copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains only the information included in that message, which is used to respond.
Routine Technical Data
Hosting systems may record ordinary logs such as IP address, browser type, page views, and time stamps. Those records are reviewed in aggregate to operate and improve the reference. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, when used, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
The limited data supports operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvement. We do not sell visitor lists or assemble individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links can lead to Nassau County or New York portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. The policy of the destination controls any information submitted there, including information entered into sponsored search results.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers process technical logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising providers may receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed only when valid legal process requires it.
How We Protect Your Data
The reference uses an encrypted connection, and technical logs are kept only for the purposes described here. No user-account password or profile is maintained by this site.
Users Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect a minor’s personal information. Contact us if a minor has sent information so it can be deleted.
Your Data Rights
You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal data that this reference holds. The reviewed New York research did not identify a verified comprehensive state deletion law with a universal opt-out, so requests are handled through the information actually held in the contact mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page to make a request. Records held by New York, Nassau County, or Freeport offices remain under each custodian’s correction, confidentiality, and disclosure rules.
Updates to This Policy
Policy revisions will be posted here. Continued use after a posted revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
