Information You Provide
A name, telephone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the independent provider that supplies results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those search entries. If you contact us, we receive the contents of the message and use them to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Hosting systems create routine logs such as IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate activity to maintain the service and understand which references are useful. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.
How Information Is Used
We use this limited data to operate the service, repair issues, measure traffic, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
Links lead to county and state portals, library holdings, archives, and independent search services. Their privacy rules apply to information you submit on their platforms. That includes sponsored results provided by a third party.
Disclosure of Data
Hosting and support providers process logs for this service. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Data are disclosed when required by valid legal process and otherwise only as described here.
Safeguards
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the needs stated above. There are no user accounts, passwords, or visitor profiles maintained by Allegheny County Residents Directory.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor sent information, and we will remove it.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information a website retains. Pennsylvania did not have a broad enacted consumer-privacy deletion law as of the research date, so requests to this private service are handled through the contact mailbox and available server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records maintained by Pennsylvania, Allegheny County, or municipal custodians are outside our control and must be addressed to that office.
Policy Changes
Changes to this policy will appear here. Continued use after a change indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
