Information You Provide
Queries entered in a search form, such as a name, phone number, or address, are sent to the provider that supplies those results. Our 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.
Automatically Collected Data
Like most hosted sites, our service records routine log data, including an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review it in aggregate to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or comparable tools may also support analytics and, when present, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
Information supports site operation, error correction, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to Massachusetts and local records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search services. Each destination controls the information submitted there under its own privacy policy. That includes sponsored results supplied by another company.
When Data Is Shared
Hosting and support providers process server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for as long as the listed purposes require. Because the site has no user accounts, it does not hold a visitor password or account profile.
Users Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not aimed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has provided information, and we will remove it.
Your Data Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data held by a website. Since we keep very little, these requests generally involve checking the contact mailbox and available server logs, then removing information we find. Use the Contact page to make a request. Public records held by Massachusetts state, county, or municipal custodians are outside our control, and correction or removal questions belong with that custodian.
Updates to This Policy
We will post policy revisions here. Continued use after a posted revision signifies acceptance of the updated policy.
