Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited data Lake Stevens Residents Directory receives, why it is used, and the choices available to you. No account is needed, and we do not host Lake Stevens or Washington public records.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of the query. If you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them to respond.


Information Collected Automatically

Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate activity to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.


How Information Is Used

We use limited data to run the service, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual user profiles.


Links to Other Websites

We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.


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 where you live, applicable law may give you rights to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data kept by a website. We can check our contact mailbox and available logs after a request through the Contact page. Records held by Washington, Snohomish County, or Lake Stevens agencies remain under the custodian's control, so requests about those records must go to that office.


Updates to This Policy

Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
