Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited data practices of Manhattan Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. The site is a private guide to Manhattan, New York public-records paths and directory collections. It does not require an account or host official records about visitors.

Information You Provide

A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is sent to the third-party service that supplies the results, not retained by our own servers as a search history. If you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them to respond.


Automatically Collected Details

Like most hosted websites, the service keeps routine logs such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review aggregate activity for reliability and readership patterns. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics and advertising measurement where applicable.


How We Use Information

The limited information supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We do not sell visitor lists or create personal visitor profiles.


External Websites

Links may lead to New York records portals, archives, library collections, or third-party search tools. The privacy terms of each outside service govern what you submit there, including information entered into sponsored-result tools.


Service Providers and Disclosure

Hosting and support providers process server logs for site operations. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information when valid legal process requires disclosure and otherwise do not release it.


Security Practices

The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. There are no visitor accounts, passwords, or site-held personal profiles to expose.


Visitors Under 18

This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18; contact us if you believe a minor sent information so it can be deleted.


Your Information Rights

New York’s Personal Privacy Protection Law, Public Officers Law Article 6-A, §§91–99, gives access and correction rights for many state-agency personal records, subject to its exceptions. It does not control every local-government record. For information held by this private site, use the Contact page; we will review the contact mailbox and relevant logs and remove what we find where appropriate. Requests about an official record belong with the agency that holds it.


Policy Changes

Updates will appear on this page. Continuing to use the site after a posted change signifies acceptance of the revised policy.
