Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the provider that operates the result service; Babylon Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the information in your message and use it to answer the request.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting systems may create standard logs such as an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of visit. We use aggregated information to maintain the service and understand general readership. Cookies or similar tools can support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate and protect the service, diagnose problems, measure traffic, and improve the reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create profiles of individual visitors.
Outside Services
Links may lead to county or state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Those services apply their own privacy practices to information you submit. Sponsored results are supplied by a separate provider and are subject to that provider’s terms.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process technical logs for the service. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed when required by valid legal process and otherwise only as described here.
Safeguards and Retention
The service uses an encrypted connection, and technical logs are kept only for as long as the stated operating purposes require. Because the site has no accounts, it does not maintain visitor passwords or account profiles.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If you believe a minor has sent information to us, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Information Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning personal data a website keeps. The reviewed New York sources did not establish a comprehensive statewide consumer-data deletion law for this type of request. Because this service keeps very little, requests generally involve the contact mailbox and applicable technical logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by New York, Suffolk County, or Town offices remain under the control of their custodian, not this service.
Policy Revisions
A revised policy will be posted here. Continuing to use the service after publication means you accept the updated policy.
