Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the provider that supplies that result service; St. Cloud Residents Directory does not retain a separate copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains only the material you choose to include, and we use it to respond.
Routine Technical Data
Like most hosted services, the site receives ordinary server-log details such as IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregated information to maintain the service and understand general use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement where used.
How Limited Data Is Used
The limited data supports site operations, problem diagnosis, traffic measurement, and improvements. We do not sell a visitor list or create an individual reader profile.
External Services
Links can lead to Stearns County, Minnesota, library, archive, and third-party result services. The destination’s own policy controls information submitted there. Sponsored search results are also operated by a third party.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic details described above. We disclose information when a valid legal process requires disclosure and otherwise only as described here.
Safeguards and Retention
The service uses an encrypted connection, and operational logs are retained only for the purposes described here. The directory has no reader accounts, passwords, or personal profiles stored on the service.
Visitors Under 18
This service 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 has sent information so it can be removed.
Your Minnesota Privacy Choices
The Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, Minn. Stat. §§ 325M.10–325M.21, gives covered consumers rights to know, access, correct, delete, and opt out of certain data practices. Because we keep little visitor information, a request normally concerns the contact mailbox or operational logs. Use the Contact page. Public records held by Minnesota, Stearns County, or St. Cloud custodians remain subject to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act and the record-specific law, so requests about those records go to the relevant custodian.
