Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited information Pottstown Residents Directory receives and how it is handled. The site is a private reference to Pottstown records sources and does not require a reader account or host government records.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the independent provider that operates that search feature. Our servers do not retain a copy of those queries. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most hosted services, the site may generate ordinary server logs such as an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. Aggregate information may be reviewed to maintain the service and understand general use. Cookies or related tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement where applicable.


How Information Is Used

We use direct communications to reply and technical data to operate, protect, and improve the service. We do not create a government-style resident database from visitor activity or sell a visitor’s search query as a record.


External Services

Links and search features can lead to government portals or third-party services. Those services have separate practices, terms, and privacy notices. Review the destination policy before submitting information to it.


When Data May Be Shared

Information may be disclosed to service providers that operate hosting, analytics, or communications for us, when disclosure is required by law, or when needed to protect the site, its users, or others. We do not control a government custodian’s records once a reader uses an external link.


Security Practices

Reasonable measures are used to protect operational information, but no Internet transmission or storage method is completely secure. Avoid sending sensitive personal information through an ordinary contact message.


Visitors Under 18

The site is not designed to collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child submitted personal information through a contact channel, notify us so it can be addressed where reasonably possible.


Privacy and Public Records

Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law, Act 3 of 2008, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101–67.3104, governs access to many public records but does not make every personal data field public. The Pennsylvania Address Confidentiality Program, 23 Pa.C.S. §§ 6701–6713, protects eligible participants’ actual addresses in specified public systems. Pennsylvania does not have a verified statewide data-broker registry, universal deletion right, or universal opt-out mechanism in the research used for this site. Ask the relevant publisher or official custodian about a correction or removal process.


Policy Changes

We may revise this policy by posting an updated version here. Continued use after a revision means the updated policy applies.
