Data You Send Directly
If you contact us, the message may include your name, email address, and the information you choose to provide. Use the message only for a question about this reference. Do not send Social Security numbers, full dates of birth, financial account details, protected addresses, or copies of sensitive records.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most web services, hosting and security providers may receive standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, requested page, referring page, and access time. This information supports delivery, security, troubleshooting, and basic measurement.
How We Use Information
Direct messages are used to respond to the question, protect the service, and maintain a record of communications. Technical data helps operate and secure the service. We do not use visitor submissions to build or sell a resident file.
External Services
Links on this site lead to government, library, archive, and third-party services. Their forms, search boxes, cookies, pricing, and privacy practices are governed by their own notices. Review the destination's policy before providing information or creating an account.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting, analytics, advertising, and security providers may process technical data for the purposes described here. Information may also be disclosed when valid legal process requires it or when disclosure is needed to protect rights, safety, or the service.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information held for site operations. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure, so visitors should avoid sending sensitive information through ordinary contact channels.
Visitors Under 18
The service is not directed to children. Do not submit a minor's personal information through the contact route. If such information was sent inadvertently, contact us so it can be addressed where reasonably possible.
Your Privacy Choices
Virginia's Consumer Data Protection Act, Code of Virginia Title 59.1, Chapter 53, including ยง59.1-577, describes certain rights to confirm, access, correct, delete, obtain a portable copy of personal data, and opt out of specified processing when the statute applies. Its exemptions and applicability rules matter. Because this reference keeps little direct visitor data, a request is generally limited to contact messages and available service records. Use the Contact page to make a request. Government records held by Lynchburg, Virginia, or library custodians are outside this site's control and must be addressed to their custodian.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated by posting a revised version here. Continued use after a revision is subject to the updated policy.
