Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited data handled by St. Joseph Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. The reference uses no accounts and does not store public-record results about readers. It simply points to record custodians and directory collections serving St. Joseph, Missouri.

Information You Send Directly

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider serving that feature. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains only the information provided in that message and is used to respond.


Automatic Technical Data

Hosting systems may record ordinary log information, such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We use aggregated information to maintain the service and understand general use. Cookies or related tools may support basic analytics and, where relevant, advertising measurement.


How Information Is Used

Information is used to operate the service, address technical issues, measure general traffic, and improve the reference. We do not sell visitor lists or build individual user profiles.


Links to Other Websites

We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.


Who Might See Your Data

The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.


Safeguards

The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described above. Because the service has no accounts, it does not keep a visitor password or account profile.


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 Choices

Privacy rights can vary by location. The research for this reference did not identify a comprehensive Missouri consumer-privacy deletion statute. Because we retain little information, a request usually involves checking the contact mailbox and applicable logs, then removing material we hold. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by Missouri state, county, or city custodians are outside our control, so requests about those records belong with the custodian.


Updates to This Policy

Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
