Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited data handled by Spokane Valley Residents Directory, how it may be used, and the choices available to visitors. No account is required. The site points readers toward public records and historical collections for Spokane Valley, Washington, but it does not host government records or create resident profiles.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party results provider. Our servers do not retain a copy of that search. When you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.


Data We Gather Automatically

The hosting service records standard technical details such as IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. Aggregate log information helps maintain the site and measure page use. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.


How We Use Data

Data is used to operate the site, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell lists of visitors nor build individual user profiles.


Links to Other Websites

Links lead to Spokane County and Washington portals, libraries, archives, and outside search services. Information submitted there is governed by each destination's policy, not this one. Sponsored results are also supplied by a third party.


Who May Process Data

Hosting and support vendors process server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We may disclose information when valid legal process requires it.


How Data Is Safeguarded

An encrypted connection protects traffic to the site, and logs are retained only as long as needed for the stated purposes. Because visitors do not create accounts, the site stores no visitor passwords or account profiles.


Users Under 18

This service is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly collect a minor's personal information. Contact us if you believe someone under 18 submitted information, and we will remove it.


Your Data Rights

Your location may grant rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Washington's My Health My Data Act, RCW 19.373, separately governs covered consumer health data and is not a general public-records removal law. Because we retain little visitor information, a request normally involves our contact mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by Washington, Spokane County, or Spokane Valley agencies remain under the custodian's control, so correction or removal requests must go there.


Updates to This Policy

Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
