Information You Send
If you contact us, we receive the information included in your message, such as a name, email address, and the issue you describe. Provide only what is needed for the question. Do not send Social Security numbers, account credentials, certificate images, or other sensitive records.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, server and security systems may log basic technical information such as browser type, device information, referring page, IP address, and pages requested. These logs help operate, secure, and diagnose the service.
How Information Is Used
We use contact and technical information to answer messages, maintain the service, address security concerns, and understand whether links or pages are functioning. We do not sell contact information or publish a visitor’s message.
Links and Search Boxes
County, state, library, archive, court, and sponsored search links lead to outside services. Those publishers set their own privacy practices, terms, and collection rules. Review their policies before submitting personal information through an external form.
When Data May Be Shared
Information may be disclosed to vendors who operate hosting, security, or communications functions, or when disclosure is required by law or needed to protect people, systems, or property. We do not share it for unrelated marketing.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. Use official custodians’ current procedures for sensitive record requests and avoid sending confidential material through ordinary contact channels.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is not directed to children. Do not submit a child’s personal information through the site. A parent or guardian who believes such information was sent may contact us for review and deletion where applicable.
Your Information Choices
You may ask about contact information we retain or request its correction or deletion by using the Contact page. Because the site retains little visitor data, those requests are usually limited to contact correspondence and available logs. Government records held by Pennsylvania, Allegheny County, Upper St. Clair Township, courts, or archives are outside our control; address their correction or removal procedures to the custodian. Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101-67.3104, governs access to agency records, not this private reference.
Policy Updates
We may revise this policy as the service or legal requirements change. The current version is the one posted here, and continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
