Glen Cove Privacy Policy

This policy explains how the Glen Cove Residents Directory handles visitor information. The site is a reference to public-record pathways and local historical resources. It does not require a user account and does not host government records. The rules below describe information a visitor may supply, ordinary technical information generated by a visit, and the distinct privacy policies that apply once a visitor follows an outside link.

Data You Give Us Directly

A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that delivers that result path; this site does not keep a separate copy of the search. If you send a message, we receive the content you choose to include and use it to respond or address the issue raised.

Technical Data From a Visit

Hosting systems may create standard logs that include an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review that information in aggregate for site operation, security, and page improvement. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and, where used, advertising measurement.

How We Use Information

Information is used to operate and protect the site, answer a message, understand aggregate use, and improve the reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or construct individual visitor profiles from routine use of the site.

Outside Websites and Search Providers

Links lead to government portals, libraries, archives, postal tools, and third-party search services. Those sites control the information submitted after you leave this site, including information entered in sponsored-result tools. Review the privacy policy and terms of each outside service before submitting data there.

Who May Process Data

Hosting and support providers may process ordinary technical logs for the purposes described above. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the automatic data associated with their service. We may disclose information when valid legal process requires it or when disclosure is otherwise required by law.

Safeguards and Retention

We use reasonable measures for the limited technical data involved in operating the site and keep logs only for the operational purposes described here. There are no visitor accounts, passwords, or resident profiles maintained by this site. New York’s SHIELD Act, General Business Law §§899-aa and 899-bb, addresses private-information breach notice and reasonable safeguards for covered computerized data.

Visitors Under 18

This reference site is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent personal information to us, use the Contact page so that it can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.

Your Data Requests

You may ask about personal information held in our contact correspondence or operational records by using the Contact page. We will review and respond as appropriate to the limited information we hold. The research did not identify a broad New York consumer-privacy statute to cite for this site. New York Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6, governs access to government records, not this private site; public records held by the City of Glen Cove, Nassau County, or a New York agency must be addressed to the responsible custodian. Sections 87(2), 89(3), and 89(4) shape exemptions, reasonably described requests, and appeals in that government-record process.

Updates to This Policy

Any revised privacy policy will appear on this page. Continued use of the site after publication of a revision means that you accept the updated policy.
