Information You Send Directly
When you contact Newark Residents Directory, the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, and message, may be received to respond to the inquiry. Do not send Social Security numbers, driver-license information, financial account data, protected addresses, or other sensitive records through a general contact message.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most web services, the service providers used to deliver this site may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages requested, referral information, and time of access. This information may be collected through server logs, cookies, or similar technology for operation, security, and measurement.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the site, respond to communications, understand general usage, and comply with legal obligations. We do not use an inquiry to create a private person profile or to verify a person’s identity.
External Record Sources
Links on this site lead to city, county, state, court, library, archive, and other external services. Those sites have their own privacy notices, access rules, and data practices. Review the policy of an outside service before submitting information or conducting a search there.
When Data May Be Shared
Information may be handled by service providers that support hosting, security, analytics, or communications, and may be disclosed where required by law or needed to protect rights, safety, or site integrity. We do not sell a visitor’s contact message as a resident record.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. Send only the minimum information needed for an inquiry and use the official custodian’s secure route for a records request, correction, or protected-address concern.
Visitors Under 18
This site is not directed to children under 18. Do not knowingly provide personal information from a child through this service. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information may request assistance through the contact information on this site.
Privacy Choices and Rights
New Jersey’s Data Privacy Law, P.L. 2023, c.266, became effective January 15, 2025 and establishes rights and duties for covered businesses. Publicly available government-record information has different treatment under that law. A concern about a government record, Daniel’s Law redaction, or an Address Confidentiality Program record belongs with the issuing custodian or the appropriate New Jersey agency.
Policy Updates
This policy may be revised as the service, applicable law, or privacy practices change. The current version is posted here. Continued use after an update means the revised policy applies to future use to the extent permitted by law.
