Information You Send
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that supplies results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains only the details you choose to include and is used to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most hosted sites, this service receives ordinary server-log details such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and time of visit. We review that information in aggregate for maintenance and page use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use the limited data to operate the service, resolve problems, understand traffic, and improve content. We do not sell a visitor list or create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.
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 Data Rights
You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal data this service keeps about you. The research did not identify an operative Massachusetts comprehensive consumer-privacy statute with a universal opt-out as of the review date. Because this service keeps little information, requests usually involve the contact mailbox and logs. Use the Contact page. Public records maintained by Massachusetts, Norfolk County, or Stoughton offices remain under the control of the relevant custodian.
Updates to This Policy
Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
