Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Needham Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those queries. A message sent through a contact channel contains the information included in that message and is used to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting services may create ordinary logs, including an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time stamps. Aggregate review helps maintain the service and understand reader traffic. Cookies or similar tools can support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
The limited technical information supports operation, diagnostics, traffic measurement, and improvements. Visitor lists are not sold, and the directory does not create individual reader profiles.
External Websites
Links lead to Needham, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, library, archive, and third-party search resources. Their own policies govern information submitted after leaving this directory. That includes sponsored search results provided by another company.
Who Can Process Data
Hosting and support providers process server logs on the directory’s behalf. Analytics and advertising partners can receive the automatic data described above. Disclosure occurs when valid legal process requires it and not otherwise.
Data Safeguards
The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes stated above. There are no user accounts, passwords, or personal directory profiles maintained here. Massachusetts privacy and security context includes M.G.L. c. 66A, M.G.L. c. 93H, and 201 CMR 17.
Visitors Under 18
The directory is intended for adults and is not directed to children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information to the directory, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Information Choices
Depending on where a reader lives, laws may provide access, correction, or deletion rights for data a website holds. Because this directory keeps very little, a request generally concerns a contact message or available server-log data. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Massachusetts, Norfolk County, or Needham custodians are outside this directory’s control and correction requests belong with the original custodian.
Policy Changes
Any revision will appear on this page. Continuing to use the directory after a revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
