Privacy Policy

This policy explains the information Portage Residents Directory receives, how it is handled, and the choices available to visitors. Our collection is limited. The site points to public rolls and directory holdings for Portage, Indiana, requires no user account, and does not keep a resident record about you.

Information You Submit

A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party company providing those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that search. When you contact us, we receive the details included in your message and use them to respond.


Information Collected Automatically

Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and visit times. We review combined traffic data to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and, when present, advertising measurement may rely on cookies or comparable technology.


How Information Is Used

We use limited visitor data to operate and improve pages, measure traffic, and diagnose faults. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual user profiles.


Links to Other Websites

Links lead to county and state portals, archives, library collections, and outside search services. Information submitted after leaving this site is governed by the destination's privacy terms. The same rule applies to sponsored results supplied by a third party.


Parties That May Process Data

Hosting and technical providers process routine logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the automatically collected information described above. We may also disclose information when compelled by valid legal process.


How We Protect Your Data

Connections are encrypted, and logs are retained only as long as needed for the purposes stated here. Because the site has no visitor accounts, it stores no account password or user profile for you.


Users Under 18

This service is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone younger than 18. Contact us if you believe a minor submitted information so it can be removed.


Your Data Rights

The Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act took effect January 1, 2026. For consumers and organizations within its scope, it provides rights involving access, correction, deletion, portability, and choices about certain processing. Government entities and many other organizations are excluded. Since this reference keeps little visitor data, a request will usually involve contact correspondence or server logs. Submit it through the Contact page. Official records held by Portage, Porter County, or Indiana are controlled by the applicable custodian and statute; a privacy request sent here cannot delete them.


Changes to This Policy

Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
