Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited information used to run Lake Ridge Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. No account is required to use this private reference service, and it does not host government records. County and state offices control the public records reached through outgoing links, including any separate rules for access, redaction, correction, or confidentiality.

Information You Provide

A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the provider that supplies that result. The site’s servers do not retain a copy of those search entries. If a visitor sends a message, the information in that message is used to respond.

Automatic Technical Data

Hosting systems may record ordinary log data such as an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of access. That information is reviewed in aggregate for operation and traffic measurement. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement where used.

How Data Is Used

Limited technical and message data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and response to correspondence. Visitor lists are not sold, and the site does not create individual visitor profiles from that data.

External Services

Links lead to Prince William County, Virginia, library, archive, and third-party services. The receiving service’s privacy policy governs data submitted there, including any information entered into sponsored search results. Review that provider’s policy before submitting personal information.

Service Providers

Hosting and support providers may process the technical information described above. Analytics or advertising providers may receive automatic data for their services. Information is disclosed when valid legal process requires disclosure and otherwise only as needed to operate the service.

Data Safeguards

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

Visitors Under 18

The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if a minor has sent information, and the information will be removed from the contact records where found.

Your Privacy Choices

The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Va. Code Title 59.1, Chapter 53, including §59.1-577, gives access, correction, deletion, portability, and certain opt-out rights to consumers of covered controllers. Its coverage and exemptions are defined by statute, including exemptions for public bodies and certain regulated data. Requests about information held by this service can be sent through the Contact page. A county or state public record is controlled by its custodian, not this service. For a protected address, use the responsible official confidentiality route, including the Virginia Address Confidentiality Program where applicable.

Policy Updates

A revised policy will appear here when the practices described above change. Continuing to use the service after publication of an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
