Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited information used by Harrisonburg Residents Directory. The service is a private reference to public offices, record indexes, and historical collections in Harrisonburg and Virginia. It does not require an account and does not keep government records or an independent resident database.

Information You Submit

Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered into a search form are sent to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those queries. If you send a message, we use the information in it to respond.

Automatic Technical Data

Hosting may create ordinary logs, including IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time stamps. We review aggregated technical information to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may use cookies or similar tools.

How Information Is Used

Information is used to operate, secure, measure, and improve the service and to answer a message. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.

External Websites

Links may lead to Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, Virginia, library, archive, or sponsored-search services. Their privacy notices govern data you submit there, including data entered in a sponsored result tool.

Service Providers and Disclosure

Hosting and support providers may process logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners can receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information when valid legal process requires disclosure, and not otherwise.

Security Practices

The service uses an encrypted connection and retains logs only for the operational purposes described here. There are no user accounts, passwords, or resident profiles maintained by this site.

Visitors Under 18

This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from people under 18. Contact us if a minor has sent personal information, and we will remove it.

Your Privacy Choices

Where applicable, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Va. Code Title 59.1, Chapter 53, may provide rights to access, correct, delete, obtain, or opt out of certain processing of personal data. Virginia's Government Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act may also apply to government-held data. Because this service keeps little data, a request normally involves checking contact correspondence and relevant logs. Use the Contact page. Requests about records held by the City, county, or state must go to the custodian; Virginia Freedom of Information Act requests are governed by Va. Code §§2.2-3700 through 2.2-3715, including §2.2-3704.

Policy Updates

Changes to this privacy policy will be posted here. Continued use after a posted update means acceptance of the revised policy.
