Data You Provide
A name, telephone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the provider that supplies that result service. Kingston Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those submitted searches. If you contact us, we use the message content to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Hosting systems may record ordinary log information such as an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and time of access. Aggregate information may be used to operate and measure the reference. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
Information received through a message is used to answer the message, maintain the service, prevent misuse, or meet a legal obligation. We do not sell search submissions as a customer list.
External Websites
Kingston, Ulster County, New York State, library, archive, and search-provider links lead to services with their own privacy terms. Review the policy at the destination before submitting personal information there.
Who May Receive Data
Service providers may process limited technical data needed to host, analyze, secure, or deliver the site. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or needed to protect users, the public, or the service.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no online transmission or storage method is perfectly secure. Avoid sending sensitive identifiers through an ordinary contact message.
Visitors Under 18
The service is not designed to collect personal information from children under 18. If such information is believed to have been provided, contact us so it can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
You may control browser cookies through browser settings and may ask about information supplied directly in a message. Public-record access is governed separately by the responsible custodian. New York Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6, sections 84 through 90, governs many agency records; it does not turn protected information into an open directory.
Policy Updates
Changes to this policy will be posted here. Continued use after a posted update means the revised policy applies from its effective posting date.
