Information You Submit
Search forms send the name, phone number, or address you enter to the third-party provider that supplies the results. Mountlake Terrace People Search does not retain a copy of those queries on its own servers. If you contact us, we receive the details you decide to include and use them only to answer your message.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard server logs may record an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. We review this information in aggregate to maintain the service and learn which resources visitors use. Cookies or comparable technologies may support basic analytics and, when applicable, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
The limited information described above helps us operate the site, troubleshoot faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual user profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Mountlake Terrace offices, Snohomish County and Washington portals, library collections, or third-party search services. Each destination applies its own privacy policy to data submitted there. The same is true for sponsored search results, which are supplied by an outside company rather than by us.
Who May Receive Information
Providers that host or support the site may process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatically collected information described above. We may also disclose data when valid legal process requires it, but otherwise do not share visitor information.
How We Protect Your Data
An encrypted connection serves the site. Server logs are retained only as long as needed for the stated purposes. Since visitors do not create accounts, the site holds no visitor password or account profile.
Users Under 18
The service 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 submitted such information so it can be deleted.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Because we retain very little, most requests are narrow: we can review the contact mailbox and available server logs and remove what we locate. Submit a request through the Contact page. Public records held by Mountlake Terrace, Snohomish County, or Washington agencies remain outside our control, so correction or removal requests for those records must go to the responsible custodian.
Updates to This Policy
Any revised policy will be posted here. Using the site after an update takes effect signifies acceptance of the changed policy.
