Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited information Columbia Heights Residents Directory receives and how it is handled. The service is a private reference to public-source routes in Columbia Heights, Minnesota. It has no user accounts and does not keep a resident database.

Information You Provide

Names, phone numbers, or addresses entered into a search box are sent to the third-party provider that produces those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of a search entry. If you contact us directly, we receive the information in your message and use it to respond.

Automatically Collected Data

Like most hosted sites, the service records routine log information, including IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. We review this in aggregate to operate the service and understand which Columbia Heights record routes readers use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where used, advertising measurement.

How We Use Information

We use the limited information described here to run, secure, troubleshoot, measure, and improve the service. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles from this activity.

External Websites

Links lead to city, county, Minnesota, library, archive, and third-party search services. The privacy practices of those destinations apply after you leave this service or submit information to them. Sponsored search results are also provided by a third party under its own policies.

Who Can Process Data

Hosting and support providers may process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners can receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure or when otherwise permitted by law.

Protecting Limited Data

The service uses an encrypted connection, and routine logs are retained only as long as needed for the purposes described here. Because there are no accounts, this service does not store a user password or an account profile.

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 sent us information, contact us so that we can remove it.

Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or opt out of certain processing of personal data held by a private service. The Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, Minn. Stat. ch. 325M, took effect July 31, 2025, subject to its applicability provisions. Because Columbia Heights Residents Directory retains very little information, a request usually involves checking the contact mailbox and available server logs, then removing information that is found. Use the Contact page to make a request. Government records held by Columbia Heights, Anoka County, or Minnesota offices are not controlled by us; requests about those records belong with their custodian under the applicable law, including the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minn. Stat. ch. 13.

Policy Changes

Any revision will be posted on this page. Continued use after a revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
