Information Submitted Directly
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies results. Chelsea Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Hosting services create routine server logs, such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We review aggregated information to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Data Is Used
We use this limited information to operate the service, correct problems, measure aggregate traffic, and improve the reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites
Links may lead to Chelsea, Suffolk County, or Massachusetts records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. The privacy terms of those services govern information submitted there, including material entered through sponsored results.
Data Recipients
Hosting and support providers process server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Information is otherwise disclosed only when valid legal process requires it.
Data Safeguards
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described above. The site has no user accounts, passwords, or visitor profiles maintained by us.
Visitors Under 18
This reference 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 sent us information, and we will remove it.
Your Information Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data a website holds. Massachusetts research supplied no state consumer-privacy statute for this private reference to cite. Because we retain very little, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and available server logs, then removing what is found. Use the Contact page to ask. Chelsea, Suffolk County, and Massachusetts public records are controlled by their own custodians, so requests about those records must go to the office that holds them.
Policy Changes
Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use after a posted change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
