Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s privacy rules apply to its handling of the query.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.

Cookies may be used to understand site use and remember basic preferences. You can block cookies in your browser, though some functions may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports ordinary site operation and improvement. We use it only for practical service, measurement, advertising, and security needs.
- Operate the site and improve page speed
- Send a search request to the selected partner
- Measure which pages visitors find useful
- Diagnose errors and security problems
- Display advertising that may reflect interests
Other Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to Nantucket Police, the Nantucket or Barnstable County sheriffs, Massachusetts courts and corrections, government portals, and outside search providers. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls its data practices.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be provided to parties that perform a service or have lawful authority to demand it.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards intended to reduce unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No website, network, or data transmission can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise breach-proof storage or communication.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, you may ask for access to personal data we hold, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. These rights concern data held by this site. Official Nantucket or Massachusetts records remain under the control of their government custodians and applicable public-records law, including G.L. c. 66 and G.L. c. 4, § 7(26).
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as services or legal duties change. An updated version takes effect when posted here and will carry a revised effective date where appropriate.
