Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited information Austin Residents Directory may receive and the choices available to visitors. The service is a private Austin, Minnesota reference to public-record sources. It has no user accounts and does not maintain a resident-record database.

Information You Provide

A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form goes to the third-party service that provides the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we use the contents of your message to respond.


Automatic Technical Data

Hosting services may create normal logs such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review aggregate information to operate and improve the service. Cookies or similar tools can support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.


How Data Is Used

We use limited information to operate the service, resolve technical issues, measure traffic, and improve Austin reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.


External Services

Links may lead to Mower County and Minnesota portals, archives, library collections, and third-party search tools. Their policies govern what you submit after leaving this service. The same is true for sponsored search results supplied by another company.


Service Providers and Disclosure

Hosting and support providers may process logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners can receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.


Security Practices

The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes described here. Because there are no accounts, the service does not store a visitor password or profile.


Visitors Under 18

This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor submitted information, and we will remove it.


Your Privacy Choices

You may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data a website keeps. Minnesota’s Consumer Data Privacy Act is the applicable state privacy framework; the Minnesota Attorney General announced full enforcement in 2026. Because this service keeps very little, a request usually involves the contact mailbox and available logs. Use the Contact page. Public records held by Minnesota, Mower County, or Austin offices are outside our control and must be addressed to their custodian.


Policy Changes

Any revision will appear here. Continued use after a posted revision means you accept the updated policy.
