Information You Send Directly
When you contact us, you may provide your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use that information only to read, respond to, and manage the request. Do not send Social Security numbers, financial details, driver-license numbers, medical information, protected addresses, or copies of sensitive records through a contact message.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, our hosting and security services may log basic technical information such as device or browser type, pages requested, approximate time, referral source, and IP address. This data is used for security, reliability, and aggregate site performance. It is not used to build a personal profile from public records.
How Information Is Used
Contact details and technical logs are used to operate, protect, and improve this reference. We do not sell contact-message content or merge it with county, court, voter, vital, or library materials. Public sources linked here remain controlled by their own custodians and policies.
External Websites and Search Tools
Links and search widgets may route a visitor to an outside provider. That provider has its own terms, notices, prices, and data practices. Review those policies before entering personal information or requesting a record. Union County Residents Directory cannot control an external service after a visitor leaves this site.
Limited Disclosure
We may share limited information with service providers that host, secure, or support the site when needed for those functions, or when disclosure is required by law. We do not disclose a contact message for unrelated marketing or compile it into a directory.
Safeguards and Retention
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures suited to a small reference site. No internet transmission is completely secure. Contact information and logs are retained only as long as reasonably needed for response, security, operations, legal duties, or dispute handling, then deleted or de-identified where practical.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is not designed to collect personal information from children. If a parent or guardian believes a child provided personal information through this site, use the contact route and we will review the request.
Your Privacy Requests
You may ask about personal information you submitted through this site, request correction, or request deletion where applicable. Use the Contact page. New Jersey's Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., governs access to many government records but does not give this private reference authority to alter a county, state, court, or municipal record. Requests about a public record must go to the custodian, and programs such as ACP, Daniel's Law, court sealing, and vital-record rules can affect what a custodian may disclose.
Policy Revisions
We may change this policy as the service, legal requirements, or security practices change. The current version is the one published here. Material changes will be reflected by updating this page.
