Information You Send Directly
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered into a search form are sent to the separate provider that supplies its results. Sedalia Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those search entries. If you contact us, we use the information in your message only to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Our host may record normal technical log data, including an IP address, browser details, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review it in aggregate for security, operation, and page-use trends. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.
How Information Is Used
We use the limited data above to operate the reference, diagnose problems, understand aggregate traffic, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites
Links lead to county and state portals, archives, library collections, and third-party search services. Their own privacy policies govern information submitted on those services, including information entered into sponsored-result tools.
Who Can Process Data
Providers that host or support the reference may process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners can receive the automatic technical data described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires it.
Data Protection
The reference uses an encrypted connection, and logs are kept only for the operational purposes described here. The service has no visitor accounts, passwords, or user profiles to maintain.
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. Contact us if you believe a minor sent information, and we will remove it.
Your Information Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data a service holds. Because this reference keeps very little, we can check the contact mailbox and relevant logs when a request arrives through the Contact page. Missouri Sunshine Law, RSMo Chapter 610, governs access requests to public records held by Missouri agencies, not removal requests to this private reference. Send those record requests to the custodian.
Policy Updates
Changes to this policy will appear here. Continued use after a posted change indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
