Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is submitted to the third-party provider that supplies those results, not retained on our servers as a search history. When you send us a message, we receive its contents and use them only to respond.
Information Collected by Routine Use
Like most hosted sites, this service generates ordinary server-log information, including an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review aggregate patterns to maintain the service and understand which references are useful. Cookies or comparable tools may be used for basic analytics and, where relevant, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
We use this information to operate the service, diagnose errors, measure general traffic, and improve its references. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual user profiles.
External Websites and Search Tools
Links lead to Wellesley and Massachusetts offices, Norfolk County record portals, libraries, archives, and third-party search services. Their own privacy notices govern information submitted after you leave this site. That includes sponsored search results provided by another company.
Service Providers and Legal Disclosure
Hosting and technical service providers may process server logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners can receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
Data Safeguards
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. No account, password, or personal profile is created for you on this site.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and does not target children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor supplied information to us, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Privacy and Records Options
You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information this site holds. Because our holdings are limited, we will check the contact mailbox and relevant server logs, then remove what we can. Massachusetts recognizes privacy protections in M.G.L. c.214 §1B; M.G.L. c.93H and 201 CMR 17.00 address security and breach response, but no comprehensive universal Massachusetts deletion or opt-out statute was identified in the official sources reviewed. Send a request through the Contact page.
Records held by public custodians are different. A focused request follows the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66 §10, with M.G.L. c.4 §7 cl.26 and 950 CMR 32.00. Some information is lawfully protected: M.G.L. c.46 restricts specified vital records; the Address Confidentiality Program follows M.G.L. c.9A and 950 CMR 130.00; and M.G.L. c.66 §10B protects certain home-address and contact information. Requests to correct, redact, or remove an official record must go to its custodian, not to this site.
Changes to This Policy
We will post revisions to this policy here. Continued use after a revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
