Data You Give Us Directly
Information entered into a name, phone, or address search is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Adams County Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those search terms on its own servers. If you contact us, we receive the content of your message and any reply details you choose to include.
Data We Gather Automatically
Hosting systems may record ordinary technical logs such as an IP address, browser type, viewed URL, and timestamp. These logs help with security, uptime, and aggregate page-use information. Basic cookies or similar tools may support analytics or advertising measurement when those services are enabled by the hosting setup.
What We Do With This Data
Technical information is used to operate the pages, investigate faults, measure general traffic, and improve the reference. We do not sell a visitor list or build a personal profile of readers. A message is used to answer the request or correct a site detail when appropriate.
Links to Other Websites
Pages link to Adams County portals, Colorado agencies, court systems, libraries, archives, and sponsored search tools. Once a link is opened, the destination's privacy notice and data practices apply. Review that provider's terms before submitting a name, phone number, address, or other information.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and site-support providers may process ordinary server logs. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the technical information described above. Information may also be disclosed when a valid legal process requires it. Other than those situations, the site does not sell or distribute a private visitor list.
How We Protect Your Data
The pages use an encrypted connection where supported by the host, and logs are kept only for the operational purposes described here. There are no user accounts, passwords, or personal profiles stored by the site. No security method is perfect, so avoid placing sensitive identifiers in a contact message.
Users Under 18
The reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor's information is sent to the contact mailbox, ask us to remove it and include enough detail for the message to be found without repeating the sensitive information.
Your Data Rights
Colorado's Privacy Act resources describe rights that may include access, correction, deletion, portability, and opting out of sale, targeted advertising, or certain profiling for covered data and covered controllers. See the Colorado Attorney General's Colorado Privacy Act information and the universal opt-out guidance for current scope and procedure. Because this site keeps little information, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and relevant technical logs.
Use the Contact page to ask about data held by this site. Public records held by Colorado, Adams County, or a city are controlled by the custodian, not by this reference. The Colorado Open Records Act, C.R.S. 24-72-200.1 through 24-72-205, and the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act, C.R.S. 24-72-301 through 24-72-309, govern their own access and exemption rules. A removal request for a government record must go to that office.
Updates to This Policy
If the site's data practices change, a revised policy will be posted here with a new effective date when needed. Continued use after the revision means the updated wording applies to later use.
