Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited information handled by Hyde Park Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. The site is a private reference to public records and historic collections in Hyde Park, New York. It has no user accounts and does not retain a directory of visitor searches.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party service that supplies the result. Our servers do not keep a copy of that query. When someone contacts us, we receive the contents of that message and use them to respond.

Automatic Technical Data

Hosting systems may create routine logs containing an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate information to operate and improve the reference. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement.

Use of Collected Data

Any limited data is used to maintain the service, diagnose problems, respond to messages, measure traffic, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or make individual visitor profiles.

Links and Search Providers

This reference links to official Dutchess County, Hyde Park, New York, library, archive, and other external resources. Their privacy practices apply when you use their sites. That is also true for sponsored search results, which are supplied by another company.

Service Providers

Companies that host or support the site may process the technical logs described above. Analytics and advertising partners may receive automatic data. We disclose data only when a valid legal process requires disclosure.

Security Practices

The site uses an encrypted connection. Logs are retained only for operational purposes. Because the site has no accounts, it does not hold a visitor password or member profile.

Visitors Under 18

This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor submitted information, and we will remove it where we can.

Privacy Requests

You may ask about personal data we hold by using the Contact page. New York has no verified universal consumer data-broker deletion right in the reviewed sources. The New York SHIELD Act concerns data security and breach notice, rather than a general deletion right. Public records held by a town, county, state agency, court, or archive are outside our control; direct a correction or access request to the custodian. New York FOIL, Public Officers Law Article 6, governs many agency-record requests but does not override statutory confidentiality.

Policy Changes

We may post changes to this policy here. Continued use after an update means the revised policy applies.
