Data You Give Us Directly
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside service that supplies its results; the site's own servers do not retain a search copy. If you contact us, we use the details in your message to answer it.
Routine Technical Information
Hosting systems record standard log details such as an IP address, browser type, page request, and time. Those records help diagnose service issues and measure broad page traffic. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may also use cookies or similar tools where they apply.
How Information Is Used
Site information supports operation, troubleshooting, aggregate traffic counts, and page improvements. Virginia Residents Directory does not sell visitor lists or build a personal profile of each user.
Other Sites and Their Policies
Links lead to Virginia agencies, local record offices, libraries, archives, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy terms govern the information submitted there. Sponsored results are supplied by a separate company and follow that provider's rules.
Who Handles Site Information
Hosting and technical service providers may process log data to keep the pages running. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the routine technical details noted above. Information is also disclosed when valid legal process requires it.
Security and Retention
The site uses an encrypted connection, and routine logs are retained only for the needs described in this notice. Because there are no user accounts, the site does not hold a visitor password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. If a young person has sent personal details, use the Contact page so the information can be removed.
Rights Under Virginia Law
The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Va. Code §§ 59.1-571 through 59.1-581, gives covered consumers rights to confirm processing, access, correct, delete, and opt out in circumstances described by the statute. The Virginia Government Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act, Va. Code § 2.2-3800 et seq., also governs state personal-information systems. Because this site keeps little visitor data, a request can be sent through the Contact page so the mailbox and relevant logs can be checked. Government records held by a Virginia court, locality, or agency remain with that custodian; the state privacy statute does not erase an otherwise public deed or docket.
Updates to This Policy
Revisions will appear here with the current wording. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised notice.
