Information Sent Directly
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is submitted to the third-party service that provides results; Alexandria Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those queries on its own servers. A message sent to us contains only the information included in that message and is used to respond.
Automatically Collected Details
Hosting services create standard server logs, such as an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We use aggregate patterns for site operation and readership trends. Cookies or similar tools may also support basic analytics and, where used, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use the limited information for site operation, error correction, traffic measurement, and page improvement. Visitor lists are not sold, and we do not create individual user profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Alexandria, Virginia, and federal record portals, library collections, archives, or third-party search tools. Information submitted to those destinations is governed by their policies, including sponsored-result providers.
Who Might See Your Data
Companies that host or support the service process server logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners can receive the automatic details described above. Disclosure occurs only when valid legal process requires it.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for as long as the listed operational purposes require. No account, password, or user profile is created by Alexandria Residents Directory.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Privacy Choices
Qualifying consumers may have rights under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Va. Code ยงยง59.1-571 et seq., to access, correct, delete, obtain, or opt out of specified processing of personal data, subject to the statute's scope and exemptions. Because we retain very little, a request usually consists of checking the contact mailbox and applicable logs, then removing information found there. Use the Contact page to make a request. Public records held by Alexandria, Virginia, or another government custodian are outside our control and must be addressed to that custodian.
Updates to This Policy
A revised policy will appear here when it takes effect. Continued use after publication indicates acceptance of the revised terms.
