Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that supplies results. Our servers do not save a copy of those searches. If you send a message, we use the information in that message to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Our host records routine server-log information, such as an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review aggregated information to maintain the service and understand readership. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where used, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use this information to operate the service, resolve problems, measure traffic, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or create profiles of individual visitors.
External Website Links
Links lead to county and state record portals, libraries, archives, and third-party search services. The policy of the destination, rather than this policy, governs data submitted there. That includes sponsored results supplied by a separate company.
Who Might See Your Data
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Information Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to seek access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data a website retains. Ohio does not provide a broad consumer-privacy or data-broker deletion statute that erases accurate government public records. Because this service retains very little, requests usually involve checking the contact mailbox and server logs, then removing applicable information. Use the Contact page to ask. Ohio Public Records Act, R.C. 149.43, governs nonexempt government records, which are controlled by their source custodian rather than this service.
Updates to This Policy
Policy changes will appear here. Continuing to use the service after a posted change means acceptance of the revised policy.
