Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that result service. Our servers do not retain a copy of search entries. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting services may record normal server-log information such as an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of access. We use aggregated technical information to maintain the service and understand general traffic. Cookies or comparable technology may support analytics or advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate and secure the service, answer messages, diagnose errors, and understand aggregate use. We do not sell a list of visitors or create individual reader profiles.
External Services
Links lead to Franklin County offices, Ohio agencies, libraries, archives, and third-party search providers. Their terms and privacy practices govern information submitted on their systems, including any sponsored search result.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting, analytics, and support providers may process the technical data described here on our behalf. Information may also be disclosed when valid legal process requires it. We do not otherwise share contact messages for unrelated use.
Security Practices
The service uses an encrypted connection. Logs are kept only for the operational purposes described above. Because there are no user accounts, the site does not maintain a reader password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has sent information so it can be removed from the contact channel.
Privacy Requests
You may ask about personal information held in a contact message or operating log through the Contact page. Ohio has no verified comprehensive consumer privacy or data-broker deletion statute that controls this service; Ohio’s Data Protection Act, R.C. Chapter 1354, is a cybersecurity safe-harbor law, not a public-record removal process. Requests concerning a public record belong with its original custodian. R.C. 149.45 provides a limited identifier-redaction mechanism for online public records.
