Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited data King County Residents Directory receives, how it is handled, and the choices available to you. No account is required. The site points to public rolls and directory collections in King County, Washington, but it does not host a personal-record database about its visitors.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that search. When you contact us, we receive the information included in your message and use it to answer you.


Information Collected Automatically

Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, page requests, and timestamps. We review combined traffic data to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement may rely on cookies or similar technology.


How We Use Information

We use limited data to run the service, diagnose errors, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create profiles about individual users.


Privacy on Linked Services

Links may lead to King County and Washington records portals, archives, library collections, and outside search services. Information sent to those services is governed by their privacy policies, not this one. The same rule applies to sponsored results supplied by a third party.


When Information Is Shared

Hosting and support vendors process server logs for site operations. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the automatic data described above. We may also disclose information when valid legal process requires it.


How Information Is Protected

An encrypted connection protects data in transit. Logs are retained only as long as needed for the purposes stated above. Because this site has no user accounts, it does not keep visitor passwords or account profiles.


Users Under 18

This service is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor submitted information so it can be removed.


Your Privacy Choices

Your location may give you rights to access, correct, or delete personal data maintained by a website. The research did not establish a separate Washington comprehensive consumer-privacy statute applicable here, so no unsupported citation is claimed. Because we retain little data, a request generally involves checking contact messages and available server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by Washington state, King County, or municipal offices remain under the custodian's control, and requests concerning those records must go there.


Policy Changes

Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use of the service after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
