Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited data Ocala Residents Directory receives, how it is handled, and the choices available to visitors. No account is required, and the site does not maintain public-record profiles about readers.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that search. When you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.


Information Collected Automatically

Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. Aggregate review helps maintain the service and measure page use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where applicable.


How the Data Is Used

Data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic counts, and page improvements. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual user profiles.


Links to Other Websites

We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.


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 Data Rights

Depending on where you live, you may hold rights to access, correct, or delete personal data a website keeps about you. Because we keep almost nothing, requests usually end quickly: we search our contact mailbox and server logs and remove what we find. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Florida state, county, or city offices are outside our control; removal requests for those go to the custodian office.


Policy Changes

Revisions will appear here. Continued use after a revision means the new policy applies.
