Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered in a search form are sent to the outside provider that returns results; Pennsylvania Residents Directory does not keep a copy of those queries on its own servers. If you contact us, we receive the information in your message and use it to respond.
Information Collected by the Server
Routine hosting logs may include an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and the time of a visit. These details help maintain service and show aggregate use of the site. Cookies or similar tools may also support analytics and, if used, ad measurement.
Why We Use It
We use the information described above to run the reference, resolve technical issues, measure overall traffic, and improve page content. Visitor lists are not sold, and individual user profiles are not created.
Other Sites and Search Providers
Pages may link to Pennsylvania state or county portals, libraries, archives, and outside search services. Information submitted after leaving this site is covered by that provider's privacy policy. Sponsored results are supplied by an outside company and follow its own terms.
Who Processes Site Information
Hosting and technical service providers may handle server logs to keep the service available. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the routine usage details described above. We disclose information when valid legal process requires it.
Safeguards and Retention
The connection is encrypted, and server logs are retained only for the purposes explained here. Because there are no visitor accounts, this site has no account password or user profile to maintain.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has sent information, and we will remove it.
Requests About Information Held Here
Pennsylvania has not enacted a comprehensive consumer-privacy statute or one statewide deletion process as of September 2026. Separate rules apply to specific records, including protected voter information, motor-vehicle data, and the Address Confidentiality Program. The Right-to-Know Law covers access to public agency records, not a general right to erase government records. Because this site keeps little visitor information, a request can usually be handled by checking the contact mailbox and the relevant server logs. Use the Contact page for a request about information held here. Records maintained by Pennsylvania agencies, counties, or municipalities must be addressed to their custodian.
Policy Changes
