Data You Give Us Directly
A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the information included in your message and use it to respond to the request or question you sent.
Data We Receive Automatically
Like most hosted services, the site may create standard server logs containing an IP address, browser information, pages requested, and time of access. We use aggregated information to operate the service, diagnose issues, and understand general page use. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and, where used, advertising measurement.
How We Use This Information
The limited data described above is used to run, secure, maintain, and improve the service and to measure overall traffic. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles from search activity.
Links to Other Websites
Montgomery Township Residents Directory links to Montgomery County and Pennsylvania portals, archives, libraries, and search providers. When you follow a link or submit information to another service, that organization’s privacy practices control the information it receives. This includes sponsored search results supplied by a third party.
Who May Process Data
Hosting and support providers may process ordinary server-log information for us. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the automatic data described above when their services are active. We disclose information only when required by valid legal process or otherwise required by law.
How We Safeguard Data
The service uses an encrypted connection. Logs are retained only for as long as the operating purposes described here require. Because this site has no visitor accounts, it does not hold a visitor password or a site-based personal profile that could be exposed through an account system.
Users Under 18
This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If you believe a minor has provided information to us, contact us so that we can review and remove it where appropriate.
Your Data Rights
You may ask us to access, correct, or remove personal data that we hold about you. Because this private reference service keeps very little, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and applicable server logs. Use the Contact page to make that request. Research did not identify a broad Pennsylvania consumer-data-broker registry or a universal deletion law that applies to every private reference service.
Government records are controlled by their public custodian, not by this site. Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law, Act 3 of 2008, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101–67.3104, permits a specific written request to the proper Open Records Officer while preserving exemptions for protected information. A correction or removal request should go to the office that keeps the record: the Montgomery County Recorder of Deeds for a recorded-document indexing or image concern, the Board of Assessment Appeals for property data, Voter Services for registration information, the originating court or clerk for a docket, and the Pennsylvania Department of Health or PHMC for vital-record questions.
For qualifying participants, Pennsylvania’s Address Confidentiality Program under 23 Pa.C.S. ch. 67 can provide a substitute address in covered state and local record settings. Its protected addresses should not be reconstructed from other sources. Public-record redaction, removal, and correction are different processes, and the custodian’s rule controls each one.
Updates to This Policy
If this policy changes, the revised version will appear here. Continued use of the service after a posted revision means that you accept the updated policy.
