Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited information handled by Hempfield Township Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. The service is a private reference to records and historical collections. It does not require an account, maintain a resident database, or take custody of the public records held by Hempfield Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, or any other records custodian.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the resulting service. Our servers do not retain a copy of those search entries. If you contact us, we receive the information in your message and use it to answer the inquiry or address the request you made.


Automatically Collected Details

Like most hosted services, the site may receive routine server-log information, including an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We use aggregated information to operate, secure, and understand use of the service. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.


How Limited Data Is Used

We use the limited data described above to run the service, address technical issues, measure traffic, and improve the reference materials. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles from the site data we handle.


External Services and Links

This service links to public offices, archives, library collections, and third-party search services. Their own privacy notices govern information submitted after leaving this site. That includes sponsored search results, which are supplied by a third party. Review the destination's terms and privacy policy before entering information there.


Service Providers and Disclosures

Hosting and support providers may process ordinary log information for us. Analytics and advertising partners can receive the automatic information described in this policy. We disclose information when required by valid legal process or otherwise required by law.


Safeguards and Retention

The service uses an encrypted connection, and log information is retained only for the operational purposes described here. Because this site does not offer accounts, it does not maintain user passwords or account profiles that could be exposed through the service.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The 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 sent us personal information, contact us so that we can review and delete it where applicable.


Requests and Pennsylvania Record Privacy

Depending on where a visitor lives, they may have rights to ask for access, correction, or deletion of personal data a site keeps. Because we keep little data, a request normally involves reviewing the contact mailbox and available logs, then removing information we locate when appropriate. Use the Contact page for such a request. Public records held by a government custodian are not within our control.

Pennsylvania agency-record requests are governed by the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law, Act 3 of 2008, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101-67.3104, not by this private site's contact process. Protected address information has separate safeguards under the Domestic and Sexual Violence Victim Address Confidentiality Act, 23 Pa.C.S. ch. 67, including 23 Pa.C.S. § 6703. A request to this site cannot reveal, correct, or override a protected address or an official record.


Changes to This Policy

Any revision to this policy will appear on this page. Continued use after a revised policy is posted means that the visitor accepts the updated terms.
