Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited information Parkland Residents Directory receives, how it is handled, and the choices available to visitors. No account is required. The site points readers to public records and historical collections for Parkland, Pierce County, and Washington, but it does not keep a private resident database or create visitor profiles.

Information You Submit

A third-party provider receives names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in a search form and supplies the sponsored results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those queries. When you contact us, we receive the details included in your message and use them to answer you.


Automatic Technical Data

Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. We review broad traffic patterns to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or similar technology.


How Information Is Used

Limited visitor data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles.


Outside Sites and Services

Links may lead to Pierce County offices, Washington agencies, libraries, archives, and third-party search services. Each destination applies its own privacy terms to information submitted there. The provider of sponsored results is also responsible for its separate data practices.


When Data Is Shared

Hosting and support vendors process technical logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We may also disclose information when valid legal process requires it.


Security and Retention

An encrypted connection protects data in transit. Logs are retained only as long as needed for the purposes stated here. Because visitors do not create accounts, the site holds no visitor password or account profile.


Visitors Under 18

This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data 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 grant rights to see, correct, or delete personal information held by a website. Washington has field-specific privacy laws rather than a verified general one-click deletion right for all lawful public records. Chapter 42.56 RCW governs public records, while driver information is restricted by RCW 46.22.010 and consumer health data by RCW 19.373.040. These laws do not create a single resident-directory removal process.

Use the Contact page to request access, correction, or deletion of information in our mailbox or technical logs. Records held by Pierce County, Washington agencies, courts, or libraries remain under the control of those custodians. An official correction or restriction request must go to the office that maintains the source record. Washington's Address Confidentiality Program under RCW 40.24 protects actual addresses for qualifying participants; the substitute address must never be treated as a residence.


Policy Changes

Revisions will appear here. Continued use after a posted revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
