Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited visitor information handled by Albany Residents Directory. The service is a reference to public sources in Albany, New York, not an account-based records database, and it does not retain the substance of ordinary searches.

Information You Send

Search-form entries, such as a name, phone number, or address, are passed to the provider that powers the results. Our servers do not keep a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the information in your message and use it to respond.

Automatic Technical Data

Hosting systems may record ordinary server information, including an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review aggregate activity to operate, secure, and improve the service. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics or advertising measurement.

How Information Is Used

Limited data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvement. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles from the information described here.

External Links and Tools

Links lead to Albany and New York government portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search services. Their privacy practices govern information submitted on their systems, including information entered through sponsored search results. Review the destination’s policy before providing data.

Service Providers

Hosting and technical providers can process server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information only when required by valid legal process or as otherwise permitted by law.

Safeguards

The service uses an encrypted connection. Logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. There are no Albany Residents Directory user accounts, passwords, or visitor profiles stored by this service.

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 so it can be removed.

Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data a website holds. Because this service keeps little visitor data, a request normally involves reviewing the contact mailbox and applicable logs. Use the Contact page to make a request. New York FOIL, Public Officers Law Article 6, applies to covered government records, not to this privately operated reference; requests concerning a City, County, or State record must go to its custodian.

Policy Changes

Any update to this policy will appear here. Continued use after publication of a revised policy means you accept the revision.
