Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the provider that returns those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that search. If you contact us, we receive the content you choose to send and use it to answer the message.
Automatic Information
Hosting services produce ordinary logs such as IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate activity to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may use cookies or similar technology.
How Information Is Used
We use the limited operational information to run the site, troubleshoot errors, measure traffic, and improve its reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services
Links lead to County and State portals, library collections, archives, and sponsored search services. Their own privacy terms govern information submitted to them, including information submitted through a sponsored result.
Who Can Process Data
Hosting and support providers process server logs for the site. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described here. We disclose information only when a valid legal process requires disclosure.
Safeguarding Information
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described above. There are no user accounts, stored passwords, or visitor profiles maintained by Dale City Residents Directory.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a visitor under 18. If you believe a minor supplied information, contact us so it can be removed.
Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information a site keeps. Because this site keeps very little, we can check contact correspondence and applicable server logs when a request is made through the Contact page. Government records held by Virginia or Prince William custodians are outside our control; direct a request concerning those records to the relevant office.
Policy Changes
Any revision will be posted here. Continued use after the new version appears signifies acceptance of the updated policy.
