Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited information handled by Oakton Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. The service is a reference to Fairfax County and Virginia public-record resources. It does not require an account and does not maintain a visitor record file.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the independent provider that supplies its results; our servers do not retain a copy of those queries. A message sent to us contains only the material in that message and is used to respond.


Data We Gather Automatically

Our host may create standard server logs, including IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate patterns to maintain the service and understand readership. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.


What We Do With This Data

We use this limited data to operate and improve the service, diagnose issues, and measure traffic. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.


Links to Other Websites

Links can lead to Fairfax County or Virginia portals, library collections, archives, and independent search services. Those destinations control information entered on their own pages, including sponsored-result services.


Who Might See Your Data

The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.


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 the facts, Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act rights under Va. Code §§59.1-571–59.1-581 may apply to personal data held by a covered business. Because we retain very little, requests normally involve reviewing the contact mailbox and any applicable logs, then removing information found there. Use the Contact page to ask. Fairfax County and Virginia custodians control their own public records, so a request about one must go to the office that holds it.


Updates to This Policy

Updates appear on this policy page. Continued use after publication of an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
