Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited information handled by Town of Colonie Residents Directory, a private reference to public-record sources in Town of Colonie and New York. No account is needed to use the reference.

Information You Submit

Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered in a search form are sent to the provider that supplies those results. Our own servers do not retain a copy of those search terms. If you send a message, we receive the information you include and use it to respond.

Automatic Technical Data

Hosting systems may create standard logs with an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We use aggregated technical information to operate, secure, and assess use of the reference. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement.

Our Use of Information

Information is used to run and improve the service, resolve technical issues, measure traffic, and answer messages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.

External Services

Links lead to New York and Albany County portals, libraries, archives, and third-party search providers. Their own terms and privacy practices govern information submitted on their services, including sponsored results.

Service Providers and Legal Requests

Hosting, analytics, and support vendors may process the technical data described here for us. We disclose information when required by valid legal process and otherwise do not share it beyond the providers needed to operate the service.

Safeguards and Retention

The service uses an encrypted connection and keeps logs only for the operational purposes described here. Because there are no user accounts, the site does not maintain passwords or a personal profile for visitors.

Visitors Under 18

The 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 so that it can be removed.

Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data a service holds. New York research identified no enacted comprehensive consumer online-tracking or universal deletion statute applicable here; the 2026 data-broker proposal remained pending at the research date. Requests may be sent through the Contact page. Government-held public records are controlled by their custodians, not by this private reference.

Policy Changes

We may post revisions to this policy here. Continuing to use the service after a revision means you accept the updated policy.
