Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates the result service. Our servers do not retain a copy of those queries. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most hosted services, the host receives routine logs such as an IP address, browser details, pages requested, and time stamps. We use aggregate information to maintain the service and understand general page use. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may rely on cookies or comparable tools.
How Information Is Used
The limited information supports operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and improvements to the reference pages. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
Links may lead to public-record portals, library collections, archives, or outside search services. Their own privacy notices govern information submitted after leaving Staten Island Residents Directory. Sponsored results are also provided by an outside company.
Recipients of Limited Data
Hosting and support providers process the technical logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
Security and Retention
The service uses an encrypted connection, and technical logs are retained only for the operating purposes described here. Because there are no user accounts, the service 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 sent information to us, contact us and request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
You may have rights under applicable law to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data a service keeps. We retain very little, so a request normally concerns a contact message or technical log. Use the Contact page to ask. Government records held by New York, Richmond County, or NYC custodians are not controlled by us; requests concerning them belong with the office that holds the record.
Changes to This Policy
Revisions will appear on this policy page. Continuing to use the service after a revision means you accept the revised notice.
