Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is sent to the third-party service that supplies the result. Falmouth Residents Directory does not retain a copy of that query on its own servers. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
The host records routine log information, including an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review aggregate traffic to maintain the service and understand general page use. Cookies or similar tools can support basic analytics and, when applicable, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
Limited data helps operate the service, diagnose errors, measure overall traffic, and improve the reference material. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual user profiles.
External Services and Links
The site links to municipal, county, and state portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search services. Their own policies apply to information supplied on those services. Sponsored search results are also supplied by a third party.
Service Providers and Disclosures
Hosting and support providers process server logs for the operation of the service. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed when valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
Data Safeguards
The service uses an encrypted connection, and routine logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. Because there are no accounts, the site does not keep a visitor password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly gather personal information from people under 18. If a minor has sent information to us, contact us so it can be removed.
Choices About Your Data
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data held by a website. Official Massachusetts sources reviewed for this reference did not identify an enacted, generally applicable consumer data-privacy law with a universal data-broker deletion right. Since we keep little information, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and operational logs, then removing applicable information. Use the Contact page. Massachusetts public records held by a town, county, state office, court, or library remain under that custodian's rules, including Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66 §10 and M.G.L. c.4 §7(26).
Policy Changes
Any revision will appear here. Continued use following a posted revision means acceptance of the updated policy.
