Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the result experience. Fredericksburg Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those searches on its own servers. If you contact us, we receive the information in your message and use it to respond.
Technical Information
Standard hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review this information in aggregate to maintain the service and understand which reference pages are used. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics and, when applicable, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
Limited data supports operating the site, resolving technical problems, measuring traffic, and improving reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites
Links on this site can lead to City of Fredericksburg portals, Virginia records resources, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. The privacy terms of the destination control information submitted there. This includes sponsored search results provided by a third party.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process site logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
Reasonable Safeguards
The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes described above. There are no user accounts, so the site does not maintain a visitor password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If a minor has sent information to us, contact us so it can be removed.
Virginia Privacy Choices
The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Va. Code §§ 59.1-571 et seq., may provide qualifying consumers with rights to access, correct, delete, or opt out of certain processing, subject to its exceptions and verification rules. Because this site keeps little visitor data, a request generally involves reviewing the contact mailbox and relevant logs. Use the Contact page to make a request. This statute does not direct a public custodian to delete a Fredericksburg deed, voter record, court file, or other record governed by a separate law.
Virginia’s Address Confidentiality Program can provide an eligible participant with a substitute mailing address. Questions about a protected public address belong with the relevant custodian or the program, not with this private reference site.
