Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search feature is sent to the outside provider that supplies that feature. Our own servers do not retain a copy of those search entries. When you send us a message, we receive the information in that message and use it only to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting services create ordinary logs, such as an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and time of access. We review this in aggregate to operate and improve the reference. Cookies or similar tools may support essential analytics and, where relevant, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
That limited data helps operate the site, resolve technical issues, measure traffic, and improve content. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites
Links can lead to Westmoreland County and Pennsylvania portals, libraries, archives, and outside search tools. The privacy policy of the destination controls information submitted there. That includes sponsored-result features supplied by a third party.
When Data Is Shared
Hosting and support providers process logs for site operations. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Information is otherwise disclosed only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
Safeguards
The reference uses an encrypted connection and retains logs only for the operating purposes described here. It has no user accounts, so it does not hold a visitor password or user profile.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is directed to adults, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor provided information, contact us so it can be removed.
Privacy Requests
You may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data a website keeps. No operational Pennsylvania general deletion right or statewide data-broker registry was identified in the research for this reference. Because we retain very little, a request generally means checking the contact mailbox and relevant logs, then removing information found where appropriate. Use the Contact page to ask. A record held by a Pennsylvania state, county, or municipal custodian is outside our control; address a correction or removal request to that custodian.
Policy Changes
Any revision will appear on this page. Continued use after publication of a revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
