Information You Submit
A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider serving that result. Linden Residents Directory does not store a copy of those searches. If you email us, we use the contents of the message to answer the inquiry.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting services produce standard logs such as an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review that information in aggregate for reliability and traffic patterns. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may use cookies or similar technology.
What We Do With This Data
We use this limited information to operate the reference, diagnose problems, measure traffic, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or construct individual user profiles.
Links to Other Websites
County and State portals, library collections, archives, and sponsored search results are separate services. Their own privacy notices control information supplied to them, including material entered in a third-party result tool.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers process logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Other disclosure occurs only when valid legal process requires it.
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 Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. New Jersey’s Data Privacy Act, P.L. 2023, c. 266, codified at N.J.S.A. 56:8-166.4 et seq., took effect January 15, 2025 and includes statutory thresholds and exceptions. Because our own data holdings are limited, a request usually involves the contact mailbox and applicable server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by New Jersey, Union County, or Linden custodians are outside our control and must be addressed to the relevant office.
