Data You Give Us Directly
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider serving that result. Chili Residents Directory does not keep a copy of those searches on its own servers. If you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them to respond.
Data We Gather Automatically
Routine hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We review this information in aggregate to maintain the service and understand general use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, if used, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use limited data to run the service, resolve technical problems, measure traffic, and improve reference pages. We do not sell lists of visitors or create profiles of individual users.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Monroe County and New York records portals, library collections, archives, or third-party search services. A destination site’s own policy controls information submitted there. Sponsored search results are provided by a third party and are subject to that provider’s terms and privacy practices.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers process the server information described above on our behalf. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the applicable automatic data. We disclose information only when a valid legal process requires disclosure or when otherwise permitted by law.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. Because Chili Residents Directory has no user accounts, it does not hold a site password or account profile for visitors.
Users 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 information to us, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Privacy Choices
You may ask about personal information Chili Residents Directory holds through the Contact page. Since the site keeps very little, we can check the contact mailbox and applicable logs and remove what we find when appropriate. The New York Personal Privacy Protection Law, Public Officers Law Article 6-A, addresses access and correction for personal information held by state agencies. It does not give this private reference control over a County or Town record.
For a public record, contact the actual custodian under the New York Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6, §§84–90, where applicable. People seeking location protection should use the New York Address Confidentiality Program before making requests that could cross-reference an address. Executive Law §108 requires state and local entities to protect an eligible participant’s actual location and use the substitute address in public records.
Updates to This Policy
Changes to this policy will appear on this page. Continuing to use the service after a revision indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
