Information You Send Directly
A name, phone number, or address submitted in a search form is sent to the outside provider that operates that result service. West Falls Church Residents Directory does not retain those queries on its own servers. If you contact us, we receive the contents of the message and use them only to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Like most hosted services, this reference may receive routine logs such as an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. Aggregated information helps operate the service and understand readership. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic measurement and, where used, advertising metrics.
How We Use Information
Information is used to run the reference, correct technical problems, measure traffic, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual reader profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Fairfax County or Virginia portals, library collections, archives, and external search services. Their own notices govern information submitted after you leave this reference. That includes any sponsored result provider.
When Data May Be Shared
Hosting and support providers can process logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
How We Protect Your Data
The reference uses an encrypted connection and keeps logs only for the purposes described here. It has no user accounts, so it does not maintain a visitor password or profile that could be exposed.
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 Data Rights
Depending on your circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or opt out of certain processing of personal data under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Va. Code Title 59.1, Chapter 53, where it applies. Because this reference retains very little, requests generally involve a review of the contact mailbox and available logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Government records held by Virginia or Fairfax County remain under the control of their custodian, not this reference.
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.
