Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party result provider. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the information in that message and use it only to respond.
Automatically Collected Details
Like most hosted websites, the service records routine log information such as IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We use aggregated information to maintain the service and understand readership. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate and improve the directory, resolve technical problems, and measure general traffic. We do not sell a visitor list or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites
The directory links to Newport News, Virginia, library, archive, and third-party search resources. Those providers control the information submitted on their own pages under their own policies. The same is true of sponsored results supplied by a third party.
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
Virginia residents may have rights concerning covered personal data under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Va. Code ยง59.1-575 et seq., subject to its scope, thresholds, and public-record exceptions. Because the directory retains very little, a request ordinarily involves the contact mailbox and available server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Newport News or Virginia public records are held by their custodians, not by us, so requests about those records belong with the office that holds them.
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.
