Information You Provide
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered into a search form are submitted to the outside provider that delivers those results. Our own servers do not retain a copy of those search entries. If you contact us, we receive the information in your message and use it to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most web services, hosting systems create routine logs that can include an IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time of access. We use aggregate log information to maintain the service and understand general page use. Cookies or similar tools may also be used by hosting, analytics, advertising, or search-service providers under their own notices.
How We Use Information
Information is used to operate, secure, maintain, and improve Garfield Heights Residents Directory, respond to messages, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell a visitor's search text as a separate product. Third-party search, advertising, analytics, and linked government services may process information under their own policies.
Links Beyond Our Service
Links on this service lead to Cuyahoga County, Garfield Heights, Ohio, court, library, archive, and other external resources. Each outside service controls its own content, availability, privacy practices, and terms. Review the policy of an outside provider before entering information there.
Who May Receive Information
Hosting and support providers may process server-log information for us. Analytics or advertising partners can receive the automatically collected information described above. We may disclose information when required by valid legal process, and otherwise only as this policy describes.
How We Safeguard Information
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the limited information we handle. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure, so no security method can be guaranteed. Do not send sensitive personal, medical, financial, or identity information through a general contact message.
Visitors Under 18
Garfield Heights Residents Directory is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
You may ask about, correct, or request deletion of personal information held by this private service through the Contact page. Ohio does not have one general consumer data-broker deletion statute that requires every publisher of public facts to erase a record. We therefore do not cite a nonexistent state consumer-privacy law. Public records remain under the control of their originating custodian: Ohio's Public Records Act, R.C. 149.43, governs qualifying government records, while program-specific correction, redaction, and confidentiality rules may apply. A request concerning an official parcel, voter, court, or vital record should go to the office that created or maintains it.
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this policy by posting an updated version here. Continued use after the posting of a revision means you accept the revised policy.
