Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited information Parkersburg Residents Directory receives, how it is handled, and the choices available to visitors. No account is required. The site points to public rolls and collections held by Parkersburg, Wood County, and West Virginia custodians, and it does not host personal public records.

Information You Submit

A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you send us a message, we receive what you include and use it only to answer.


Information Logged Automatically

Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, page views, and timestamps. We review aggregate activity to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and, when applicable, advertising measurement may rely on cookies or similar tools.


How Information Is Used

Information supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual visitor profiles.


Privacy on Linked Services

Links lead to Wood County and West Virginia portals, libraries, archives, and outside search services. Data submitted after leaving this site is governed by that destination's policy. Sponsored search results are also supplied by an independent company.


Who May Process Data

Hosting and support vendors process routine logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed in response to valid legal process when required.


Safeguards and Retention

An encrypted connection protects data in transit, and logs are retained only as long as the stated purposes require. Because visitors create no accounts, the site keeps no user password or account profile.


Visitors Under 18

This service is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor supplied information so it can be removed.


Your Privacy Choices

Privacy rights depend on where you live and may include access, correction, or deletion of data a website maintains. The research did not identify a generally applicable West Virginia comprehensive consumer-privacy statute, so no broader state right is claimed here. Because we retain little, a request normally concerns our contact mailbox or server logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by West Virginia, Wood County, or Parkersburg offices remain under the custodian's control; direct record corrections or removal requests to that office.


Policy Revisions

Updates will appear on this page. Continued use after a revision indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
