Data You Give Us Directly
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the result experience. Wooster Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those searches on its servers. A message sent through a contact route contains only the information provided in that message and is used to respond.
Data We Gather Automatically
Hosting services create routine logs, such as an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. Those records are reviewed in aggregate to maintain the service and understand general page use. Cookies or similar technologies may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
Information is used to operate and secure the service, address technical issues, measure traffic, and improve the reference material. Visitor lists are not sold, and the service does not create profiles of individual visitors.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, or third-party search tools. A destination’s own privacy policy controls information submitted there. That includes sponsored search results supplied by another company.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers process the routine logs needed to run the service. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Information is disclosed only when valid legal process requires it or as otherwise required by law.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and routine logs are retained no longer than needed for the purposes described above. Because there are no visitor accounts, the service does not maintain a visitor password or profile that could be exposed.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. Personal information from anyone under 18 is not knowingly collected. If a minor is believed to have sent information, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, they may have rights to ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data held by a website. No broad Ohio consumer data-broker deletion statute was identified for this purpose. Because this service retains very little, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and relevant logs, then removing information that can be located. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Ohio state, county, or city custodians remain outside this service’s control; use the applicable custodian correction or redaction route instead. Ohio Safe at Home, R.C. 111.41-.47, R.C. 149.45 online-redaction provisions, R.C. 3503.13 voter protections, and R.C. 4501.27 BMV restrictions are record-specific examples.
