Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited data Olympia Residents Directory receives, how it is handled, and the choices available to users. No account is required, and we do not host Olympia or Washington government records.

Information You Submit

Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered in a search box are sent to the third-party results provider. Our servers do not retain those queries. When you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them to answer.


Automatic Technical Data

Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review totals to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or comparable technology.


How We Use Data

We use limited data to run and improve the site, diagnose faults, and measure traffic. Visitor lists are not sold, and we do not create individual user profiles.


External Website Links

Links lead to county and state portals, archives, libraries, and outside search services. Once you submit data there, the destination's policy applies. A third party also supplies sponsored search results.


Limited Data Sharing

Hosting and support vendors process technical logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising providers may obtain the automatic data described above. We otherwise disclose it only when valid legal process requires us to do so.


Data Security

The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.


Children and Teenagers

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 Privacy Choices

Depending on applicable law, you may ask to access, correct, or delete personal data a website holds about you. Washington's My Health My Data Act, chapter 19.373 RCW, governs covered consumer health data, while the Washington Privacy Act did not become a general consumer-privacy law. Because we retain little data, a request normally involves checking our mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by Washington, Thurston County, or Olympia offices remain under the custodian's control.


Policy Revisions

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