Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited data Athens Residents Directory receives, how it is used, and what choices visitors have. No account is required, and the site does not host Limestone County, Athens, or Alabama public records.

Information You Submit

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


Routine Technical Logs

The hosting service may record an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. Aggregate review helps diagnose faults and measure which resources are used. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or comparable technology.


Purposes for Data Use

Limited data supports site operation, error correction, traffic counts, and page improvements. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual user profiles.


Privacy on Linked Services

County portals, Alabama services, archives, library collections, and outside search tools set their own privacy terms. Their policies govern information submitted after a visitor follows a link. Sponsored results are also supplied by a third party.


Service Providers and Disclosure

Hosting and support providers process server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the technical data described above. Other disclosure occurs only when valid legal process requires it.


Safeguards and Retention

An encrypted connection protects data in transit, and logs are retained only as long as the stated purposes require. Because visitors create no accounts, the site holds no visitor password or account profile.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This adult-oriented service is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect a minor's personal information. Contact us if a person under eighteen sent information so it can be removed.


Choices About Your Data

Rights to access, correct, or delete website-held personal data depend on where a visitor lives. Research did not verify a comprehensive Alabama consumer privacy or data-broker deletion statute, so no broader state right is promised here. We can search the contact mailbox and ordinary logs for data under our control. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records kept by Alabama, Limestone County, or Athens offices remain under the control of those custodians.


Policy Revisions

Changes will appear on this page. Continued use after publication of a revision constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
