Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited data handled by Multnomah County Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. The site is a private reference to public records and historical collections in Multnomah County, Oregon. It has no user accounts and does not maintain a personal-record database about its visitors.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search box is sent to the third-party service that supplies the result path. Our servers do not retain a copy of those search terms. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.


Automatically Collected Technical Data

Like most hosted services, the site records routine log information such as IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review that information in aggregate to maintain the service and understand readership. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.


How Limited Data Is Used

We use this limited information to operate the service, fix errors, measure aggregate traffic, and improve the reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or build individual visitor profiles.


External Services and Links

Links may lead to County or State record portals, libraries, archives, and third-party search providers. The policies of those destinations govern information submitted to them. This includes sponsored search results supplied by a third-party company.


Service Providers and Disclosure

Hosting and support providers process server logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the technical data described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires it.


Security Practices

The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described above. Because there are no accounts, the site does not hold a visitor password or profile that could be exposed here.


Visitors Under 18

This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If a minor has sent information to us, contact us and we will remove it.


Your Oregon Privacy Rights

Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, ORS 646A.570-646A.589, gives qualifying consumers rights over personal data held by covered controllers. Because this service keeps very little, a request generally involves checking the contact mailbox and server logs, then removing information found there when applicable. Send a request through the Contact page. Records held by Oregon, Multnomah County, or municipal custodians are outside our control, and any request about those records must go to the office that holds them.


Changes to This Policy

Any revision will appear on this page. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
