Information You Send
A name, telephone number, or address submitted through a search form is handled by the third-party result provider. Portland Residents Directory does not retain a copy of search entries. When you email us, we receive the contents of that message and use them to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting records routine server-log information, such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and time of access. We review it in aggregate to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where applicable.
How Information Is Used
Information supports operating the reference, resolving technical problems, measuring traffic, and improving content. We do not sell visitor lists or create profiles of individual readers.
External Services
Links lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy terms govern information submitted after leaving this reference. Sponsored search results are likewise operated by a third party.
Service Providers
Hosting and support providers process server logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic technical information described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
Security Measures
The reference uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes stated here. No visitor accounts exist, so the service does not maintain a visitor password or profile.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor sent us information, and we will delete it.
Your Privacy Choices
The Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, SB 619 and ORS 646A.570–646A.589, provides covered consumers rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of certain personal data, plus opt-out rights for sale, targeted advertising, and specified profiling. Because this reference keeps little information, a request generally involves checking the contact mailbox and server logs and removing what is found. Use the Contact page to ask. Official Oregon, county, and Portland records are outside our control, so requests about them belong with the custodian.
Policy Updates
We will post any revision to this policy here. Continued use after a revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
