Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited data handled by Charlottesville Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. The service is a reference to public records and historical collections in Charlottesville, Virginia. It does not require an account and does not maintain a database of visitor searches.

Information You Send Directly

A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party result provider; our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we receive the information in the message and use it to respond.


Automatically Collected Data

Hosting systems record routine technical logs such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We use aggregated information to operate and improve the service. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.


What We Do With This Data

We use this information to operate the service, diagnose problems, measure general traffic, and improve the reference material. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles.


Links to Other Websites

Links lead to local and state records portals, libraries, archives, and third-party search tools. Data submitted on an outside service is governed by that service's policy. Sponsored results are also supplied by a third party.


Who Might See Your Data

Companies that host or support the service may process logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners can receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires it.


How We Protect Your Data

The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only as long as needed for the purposes stated here. Because there are no user accounts, we do not keep a site password or profile for visitors.


Users Under 18

This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from people under 18. If a minor has sent information to us, contact us so it can be removed.


Your Data Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data held by a website. Since we retain very little, such requests are usually limited to the contact mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Virginia, Charlottesville, Albemarle County, or another custodian are outside our control, and correction or removal requests belong with that custodian.


Updates to This Policy

Updates will appear on this policy page. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
