Information You Submit
A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies results. The site’s own servers do not retain a copy of those queries. When a visitor sends a message, the information available is limited to that message and is used to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting services may create routine logs, including an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. Aggregated information helps maintain the service and understand general readership. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement where used.
How Limited Data Is Used
The limited technical information is used to operate the service, address errors, measure general traffic, and improve the reference material. Visitor lists are not sold, and the service does not create individual visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
Links may lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, or sponsored search tools. Each external service controls its own collection and use of submitted data under its own policy. This is especially important for a sponsored result provided by another company.
Service Providers and Disclosures
Providers that host or support the service may process the routine logs described above. Analytics or advertising partners can receive the associated automatic data. Information is disclosed when valid legal process requires it, not for unrelated use.
Safeguards and Retention
The service uses an encrypted connection, and routine logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. No visitor account, password, or personal profile is created by this service.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. It does not knowingly collect a minor’s personal information. If a minor has sent personal information, use the contact route to request deletion.
Your Information Choices
Visitors may ask about personal data held by this service through the Contact page. Because the service keeps little information, a request normally concerns a contact message or routine log. Research did not identify a comprehensive Ohio consumer-deletion statute for this context; Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1354 is a voluntary cybersecurity safe-harbor framework, not a general deletion tool. Public records held by Ohio, Lorain County, or Avon Lake custodians are outside this service’s control, and record requests belong with that custodian under the Ohio Public Records Act, R.C. 149.43.
Policy Revisions
A revised policy will be posted here. Continued use after publication of a revision signifies acceptance of the updated policy.
