Data You Give Us Directly
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is submitted to the third-party service that provides the result. Our servers do not retain a copy of those search terms. When a visitor sends a message, we receive the contents of that message and use them only to respond.
Data We Gather Automatically
Hosting infrastructure creates routine logs, such as an IP address, browser type, page request, and timestamp. We review aggregated information to maintain the service and understand broad page use. Cookies or similar tools may be used for basic analytics and, when applicable, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use limited data to operate the reference, correct technical issues, measure overall traffic, and improve its content. Visitor lists are not sold, and we do not create individual profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search services. A destination site's own privacy terms govern information submitted there. That includes sponsored results, which are supplied by another company.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers process the necessary server logs for us. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are kept only for the purposes stated here. Because there are no accounts, this site does not hold a visitor password or account profile.
Users Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect a minor's personal information. If you believe a minor sent information to us, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, access, correction, or deletion rights may apply to personal data a website holds. Ohio does not have a comprehensive state data-broker deletion regime identified in this research. Because we retain very little, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and relevant server logs, then removing information found there. Use the Contact page to make a request. Records held by Ohio state, county, or municipal offices are outside our control. Ohio's Public Records Act, ORC 149.43, governs access to public records, while a request to remove or correct an official record must go to its custodian.
Updates to This Policy
