Greene County Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information we collect, how it is used, and the choices available to visitors using this private reference service.

Information You Submit

Search queries

A name or location entered into the search widget is sent to the third-party provider that runs that search. We do not store or log the submitted search terms on our own systems.

Messages

Messages sent by email or through a contact method may be retained so we can respond. We do not share them outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Information

Like many online services, our systems and service providers may receive technical information when a page is loaded.

  • IP address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages visited and time spent on them.
  • Referring site, if one is supplied.
  • Access date and time.

Cookies and Use

Cookies and similar tools can support site operation, audience measurement, advertising, and partner features. Technical information may be used to operate, protect, improve, measure, and support the service, respond to a message, and meet legal obligations. Browser settings may allow a visitor to limit cookies, although some features may then work differently.


Other Recipients

Information can be processed by search partners, analytics providers, advertising networks, and vendors that support the service. It may also be disclosed where a valid legal order requires it, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a business transfer. Linked public offices and outside resources have their own privacy practices, which we do not control.


Security and Retention

We use reasonable measures intended to protect information, but no online transmission or storage method is guaranteed secure. We retain information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose described here, legal requirements, dispute resolution, and enforcement of agreements.


Children and Your Choices

This service is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. Depending on applicable law, a visitor may request access, correction, deletion, or information about personal data. To make a request, use the Contacts page. We may need to verify the request before acting. This notice can change, and the posted version applies when it takes effect.
