Privacy Policy

This policy describes how Town of Ossining Residents Directory handles information connected with use of this private reference. It does not change the access rules of government offices, courts, archives, or third-party services.

Information You Send Directly

If you contact us, you may choose to provide your name, email address, and message. Send only what is necessary. Do not send Social Security numbers, driver-license numbers, account data, dates of birth, court-sealed material, or other sensitive personal information.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most web services, the site and its providers may process basic device, browser, log, cookie, and usage information to operate, secure, measure, and improve the service. This information is not used to construct a personal dossier.


How Information Is Used

Contact information may be used to respond, investigate a reported error, protect the service, and comply with law. We do not sell personal information. We do not publish user-submitted lookup inputs or turn them into a resident listing.


External Services and Links

Links may lead to Westchester offices, New York agencies, repositories, and other outside services. Their privacy practices and forms control data submitted after leaving this site. Review the receiving service's notices before entering information.


Service Providers and Disclosures

Information may be processed by vendors that host, secure, analyze, or support the service under appropriate obligations. Disclosure may also occur when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, or address fraud and misuse.


Safeguards

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the service. No online system is completely secure. New York's SHIELD Act, General Business Law §899-bb, and breach-notification law, General Business Law §899-aa, address security and breach duties but do not guarantee absolute security.


Children

The service is not directed to children under 18. Do not knowingly submit a child's personal information. Contact us if you believe such information was provided so it can be reviewed and addressed.


Choices and Requests

You may ask about personal information you sent to us, request correction of a contact record, or ask about deletion where applicable. Identify the information and enough context to verify the request. New York Public Officers Law Article 6, known as FOIL, governs access to agency records, not a general deletion right for every private reference.


Policy Changes

We may update this policy as practices or law change. The current version applies after it is posted. Material changes will be reflected by revising this page.
