Information Submitted Directly
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered into a search form are sent to the third-party provider that returns results; Carrboro Residents Directory does not retain those searches on its servers. A message sent to us contains the information supplied in that message and is used to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Hosting systems retain routine logs such as IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate activity to maintain the service and understand use. Cookies or related tools may be used for basic analytics and, where relevant, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
We use this information to operate the service, resolve technical issues, measure aggregate traffic, and improve the reference material. Visitor lists are not sold, and individual visitor profiles are not created.
External Services and Links
Links may lead to Orange County or North Carolina portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. The receiving service's privacy policy governs information entered there, including sponsored search results supplied by another company.
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
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data a website holds. The official research did not identify an enacted general North Carolina data-broker deletion right. Because this service keeps little information, a request normally concerns a contact message or server log. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by North Carolina, Orange County, or Carrboro remain under the relevant custodian's control.
Policy Changes
Updates are posted on this page. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
