Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the third-party provider that operates the results. Rochester Residents Directory does not retain its own copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains only the information included in that message and is used to answer it.
Automatically Collected Details
Hosting systems create routine logs such as an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. Those records are reviewed in aggregate for security, maintenance, and basic traffic measurement. Cookies or comparable tools may support analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
That information supports operation, troubleshooting, audience measurement, and improvements to the reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
Links lead to county and state portals, archives, library collections, and third-party search tools. Their own privacy notices govern information submitted after leaving this domain. That includes any sponsored-result provider.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process the operational logs described above. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the associated automatic information. Information is disclosed in response to valid legal process when required.
Security and Retention
The service uses an encrypted connection, and operational logs are retained only for the purposes described here. There are no Rochester Residents Directory accounts, passwords, or member profiles to maintain.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. Contact us if a minor has sent information, and it will be removed.
Your Minnesota Privacy Choices
Subject to scope and exclusions, the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, Minn. Stat. ch. 325M provides rights involving access, correction, deletion, portability, and certain opt-outs. Requests about information we hold normally concern only contact messages or operational logs, which we will review and remove when appropriate. Use the Contact page to ask. Rochester, Olmsted County, and Minnesota public records are controlled by their custodians and separate statutes, so a request to remove a public record must go to the office that holds it.
Policy Changes
Updates will appear on this page. Continued use after an update means acceptance of the revised policy.
