Information Sent Directly
Search-form entries, such as a name, phone number, or address, are sent to the outside provider that serves the result. Our servers do not retain a copy of that query. A message sent to us contains what the sender chooses to provide and is used to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most hosted services, the host may retain ordinary logs, including IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. Aggregate review helps maintain availability and understand use. Cookies or similar tools can support basic measurement and advertising measurement where used.
How Limited Data Is Used
The limited data supports operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and improvements. We do not sell visitor lists or assemble individual visitor profiles.
Outside Links and Services
Jackson County, Missouri, court, library, archive, and third-party search links lead to services with their own privacy terms. Those terms govern information submitted after leaving this service, including data sent through sponsored results.
Who Might See Your Data
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
How We Protect Your Data
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.
Users Under 18
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 a visitor’s location, they may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data a service holds. Because Independence Residents Directory retains very little, such a request normally concerns a contact message or applicable logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Missouri state, Jackson County, and city records are controlled by their custodian, and any correction or removal request belongs with that office.
Policy Changes
Updates will appear here. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
