Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the result experience. West Linn Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those search terms on its own servers. If you contact us, we receive the content you choose to include and use it to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Like most hosted services, the site may produce routine server logs, including an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review that information in aggregate to maintain the service and understand broad use patterns. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Data Is Used
We use the limited data described here to operate the reference, address technical problems, measure traffic, and improve content. We do not sell a visitor list or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services
Links lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search services. When you leave this reference, the receiving service’s privacy terms control the information you submit. That includes the sponsored result provider.
Who May Process Data
Hosting and support providers process operational logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information only when a valid legal process requires disclosure.
Safeguards
The site uses an encrypted connection, and operational logs are retained only for as long as the stated purposes require. Because there are no user accounts, the reference does not keep a visitor password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If you believe a minor sent information to us, contact us so it can be deleted.
Your Information Choices
Depending on the law that applies, you may have a right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data held by a website. Oregon’s consumer-privacy statute is the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, ORS 646A.570-646A.589. Since this reference keeps very little, a request ordinarily involves checking the contact mailbox and available server logs, then removing information found there. Use the Contact page to make a request. Public records held by Oregon, Clackamas County, or West Linn remain under the control of their custodian.
