Information You Send
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the provider that operates that result flow. Schenectady Residents Directory does not retain a separate copy of those searches. If you contact us, we use the information in the message to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting services may create ordinary logs such as an IP address, browser type, page request, and timestamp. Aggregate information helps maintain the service and understand general use. Cookies or similar tools may also support basic analytics or advertising measurement where used.
How Limited Data Is Used
Limited data is used to operate the service, diagnose faults, understand traffic in aggregate, and improve the reference. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Records Links
Links lead to Schenectady County, City of Schenectady, New York State, library, archive, and outside search services. Their own terms and privacy practices apply when information is submitted there, including through sponsored-result tools.
Who Might See Your Data
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Information Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask about personal data a service keeps. The reviewed New York guidance does not identify one statewide comprehensive consumer-privacy statute that grants a universal deletion right. Because this reference retains little visitor data, a request can be made through the Contact page and will be checked against the contact mailbox and applicable logs. Public records held by New York, Schenectady County, or City of Schenectady custodians must be addressed to that custodian.
Policy Revisions
Any revised policy will be posted here. Continued use after the posting date indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
