Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited visitor data handled by Hillsborough County Residents Directory and the choices available to you. No account is required, and the site does not maintain its own files about people named in Hillsborough County public records.

Information You Submit

A third-party provider receives any name, phone number, or address entered in a search box. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you send a message, we use its contents only to respond.


Automatic Technical Data

Our hosting keeps ordinary server logs: IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We look at this in aggregate to keep the site healthy and to see which pages readers use. Cookies or similar technologies may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.


What We Do With This Data

We use limited technical data to operate the service, diagnose faults, measure general traffic, and improve content. Visitor lists are not sold, and individual user profiles are not created.


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 applicability, the Florida Digital Bill of Rights, Fla. Stat. ยงยง 501.701-.722, may provide rights concerning access, correction, deletion, or use of personal data. Because this site retains very little, a request normally concerns the contact mailbox or ordinary server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Florida state, county, or city offices remain outside our control; correction or removal requests for them must go to the custodian.


Updates to This Policy

Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
