Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is submitted to the third-party provider that supplies results. Our servers do not keep a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the content of your message and use it only to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
The host creates routine logs such as IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and time stamps. We use aggregate information to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, when relevant, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
We use this information to operate the service, address technical issues, measure traffic, and improve the reference material. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania record portals, archives, libraries, and third-party search tools have their own privacy rules. Those rules control any information you submit after leaving this site, including information entered in sponsored-result tools.
Who May Process Data
Hosting and support providers process server 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 site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. Because there are no user accounts, the site 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 you believe a minor supplied us information, contact us and we will remove it.
Your Data Choices
You may ask about personal data this site keeps, or ask us to correct or remove it. Pennsylvania does not have an enacted comprehensive consumer-privacy or data-broker deletion law in the sources reviewed, so this site does not promise a statewide deletion right. Because we keep very little, requests usually involve our contact mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records maintained by Pennsylvania, Philadelphia County, or City offices are outside our control; send a correction or removal request to the custodian that maintains the record.
Policy Changes
We will post any revision to this policy here. Continued use after a revision means you accept the updated policy.
