Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party results provider. Northfield Residents Directory does not keep its own copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains only the information included in that message and is used to respond.
Automatically Collected Information
Our host keeps routine server information such as IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate use to maintain the service and understand which reference pages are used. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where relevant, advertising measurement.
Our Uses of Information
Information supports site operation, error correction, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We do not sell visitor lists or create individualized visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
Links lead to county and state record portals, archives, library collections, and third-party search tools. The receiving organization’s privacy terms apply to data submitted there, including through sponsored results supplied by another company.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process server logs for us. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
Security and Retention
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes stated above. There are no user accounts, passwords, or profile pages on this service.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect a minor’s personal information; contact us if you believe a minor sent information so it can be deleted.
Your Privacy Rights
Minnesota’s Consumer Data Privacy Act, Minn. Stat. §§325M.10–.21, can provide access, correction, deletion, and opt-out rights for covered controllers, subject to its scope and exceptions. Because this reference retains very little information, a request normally means checking the contact mailbox and operational logs, then removing information found there. Use the Contact page for a request. Public records held by Minnesota, Rice County, or Northfield custodians are outside our control and must be addressed to the actual custodian.
