Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is handled by the provider that supplies those results. Mechanicsville Residents Directory does not keep a copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains the information included in that message and is used to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Routine hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and time of visit. We review aggregate information to operate the service and understand use of its pages. Cookies or comparable technology may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.
How Technical Data Is Used
Technical information helps operate, troubleshoot, measure, and improve the directory. We do not sell visitor lists or create personal visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
Links lead to Hanover County and Virginia portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. The privacy policy of the destination controls information submitted there, including information entered through sponsored search results.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process the logs needed to operate the site. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the technical data described above. Information is disclosed when valid legal process requires it.
Safeguarding Information
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for operational purposes. There are no user accounts, passwords, or resident profiles stored by this site.
Visitors Under 18
The directory is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from people under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor submitted information, and we will remove it.
Your Privacy Choices
Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act can provide covered consumers rights to confirm, access, correct, delete, obtain a portable copy of, or opt out of certain processing of personal data. The statute’s covered-controller rules and government exclusions matter. It does not require a county or court to erase a public record. Because this directory keeps very little, requests usually involve the contact mailbox and applicable logs. Use the Contact page. Requests involving a public record belong with the responsible Hanover County or Virginia custodian.
Policy Revisions
Updates will be posted here. Continuing to use the site after a revision means accepting the revised policy.
