Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited data Kent Residents Directory receives and the choices available to visitors. No account is needed, and the site does not host government records about people in Kent, Washington.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party results provider. Our servers do not retain a copy of that query. When you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them to respond.


Information Collected Automatically

Routine hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, page views, and timestamps. Aggregate use helps maintain the service and identify useful pages. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may use cookies or similar tools.


How Information Is Used

These limited records support site operation, repairs, traffic measurement, and content improvements. We neither sell visitor lists nor build individual visitor profiles.


Links to Other Websites

We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.


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

Rights to access, correct, or delete personal data depend on where you live and which law applies. Washington's 2023 My Health My Data Act protects consumer health data outside HIPAA, but it is not a general deletion law for deeds, court files, or assessor records. Because this site keeps little data, a request generally means checking contact mail and available server logs. Use the Contact page. Requests about public records must go to the Washington state, King County, or Kent office that created them.


Updates to This Policy

Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
