Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited data Burien Residents Directory receives and the choices available to visitors. The service points to public records and directory collections in Burien, Washington. It requires no user account and does not host a personal record database.

Information You Submit

Names, phone numbers, or addresses entered in a search form are sent to the outside provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of a search. A message sent to us is used only to read and answer that message.


Information Collected Automatically

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


How Information Is Used

Limited data supports site operation, fault diagnosis, traffic measurement, and page improvement. We neither sell visitor lists nor create profiles of individual readers.


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

Privacy rights can depend on where a visitor lives and what data is held. Washington's My Health My Data Act, Chapter 19.373 RCW, may apply to regulated consumer health data, while the Washington Public Records Act, Chapter 42.56 RCW, governs agency records rather than this private service. Because we retain little, a request usually concerns contact mail or server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. A correction or removal request for a Burien, King County, or Washington agency record must go to that custodian.


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.
