Information You Enter
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Darien Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those searches on its own servers. If you contact us, we see the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Routine Server Information
Our hosting provider may keep ordinary server logs, including an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We review those details in aggregate to maintain the service and understand which pages are used. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How the Information Is Used
Information is used to operate the service, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create profiles of individual users.
Links Beyond Darien Directory
Links lead to Darien town offices, Connecticut state and court portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. The privacy policy of each outside service governs what you submit after leaving this site. Sponsored results are supplied by a separate third-party company and follow that provider's terms.
Who Can Receive It
Hosting and other service providers may process server logs while they support the site. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Disclosure may also occur when valid legal process requires it, and otherwise does not occur.
How Information Is Protected
The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for as long as the purposes above require. Because there are no accounts, this site has no password or user profile of yours to expose.
People Under 18
The service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information to us, contact us and we will delete what we find.
Your Choices and Public Records
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data that a website retains about you. Connecticut's Personal Data Act, CGS §4-193, addresses state-agency personal-data practices, but it is not a broad public-record erasure process. The Connecticut Freedom of Information Act, CGS §§1-200-1-242, especially §§1-210-1-212, governs access to existing public records subject to exemptions; it does not require an office to create a new record.
Because this service keeps very little, a request usually means checking the contact mailbox and relevant server logs, then removing what is found when appropriate. Use the Contact page to ask. Separate rules may protect or limit records held by Darien or Connecticut custodians, including Safe at Home and the Address Confidentiality Program, voter privacy under CGS §9-50(d), specified residential-address protections under CGS §1-217, and birth records under 100 years under CGS §7-51. Social Security numbers and other restricted fields should not be published. Those programs and statutes are specific to the record and person; they are not a general deletion request. Public-record questions should go to the office that maintains the record.
Policy Changes
Changes to this policy will appear here. Continued use of the service after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
