Information You Provide
A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the independent provider that supplies results; Hastings Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those searches on its own servers. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them only to respond.
Information Collected by the Site
Like most websites, the hosting service records routine log data, including IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We use aggregated information to maintain the site and understand which Hastings research pages are useful. Cookies or comparable tools may enable basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
The limited information described here supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and improvements. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites and Portals
Hastings Residents Directory links to sources such as Adams County and Nebraska records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. The privacy policy of the destination site controls information submitted there, including information submitted through sponsored results supplied by another company.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process server logs for this site, while analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
Security and Retention
The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes described above. Because there are no visitor accounts, the site does not hold a visitor password or account profile to expose.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18; contact us if you believe a minor has sent information to us, and we will delete it.
Your Information Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information a website holds. Nebraska's Personal Privacy Protection Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-802 and § 20-803, is a relevant state privacy statute. Because this site retains very little, a request generally involves checking the contact mailbox and server logs, then removing information found there. Use the Contact page to make a request. Records held by Nebraska, Adams County, or City of Hastings custodians are outside our control; direct a removal request for those records to the office that holds them. Nebraska's Address Confidentiality Program provides a separate official route for qualifying safety situations.
