Information You Submit
A name, telephone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the independent provider that returns the results. Our own servers do not retain a copy of those queries. If you contact us, we receive the contents of that message and use them to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most hosted services, the site produces routine logs such as IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate information to maintain the service and understand broad page use. Cookies or comparable tools may support essential analytics and, where used, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
The limited data described here helps operate the service, resolve technical issues, measure aggregate visits, and improve page content. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services
Links can lead to county and state record portals, library collections, archives, and independent search services. The policy of the destination service controls information submitted there, including information provided through sponsored-result tools.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process the technical logs needed to operate the site. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed when required by valid legal process, and not for unrelated purposes.
Security Practices
The site uses an encrypted connection, and operational logs are retained only for the period needed for the stated purposes. No visitor account, password, or personal profile is created by Bergen Residents Directory.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If you believe a minor provided us information, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the facts and statutory scope, New Jersey’s Data Privacy Act, P.L.2023 c.266, provides covered consumers with rights including access, correction, deletion, portability, and certain opt-outs. Because we retain little personal data, a request normally concerns the contact mailbox or operational logs. Use the Contact page to make a request. A record held by a New Jersey state, county, or municipal custodian is outside our control and must be addressed to that custodian.
Policy Changes
We will post any revision to this policy here. Continued use after the posted update means acceptance of the revised policy.
