Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited information handled by Lima Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. The service is a reference to Lima and Ohio record sources, does not require an account, and does not maintain a resident database about visitors.

Information You Provide

A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies that result. Our servers do not retain a copy of those search entries. If you contact us, we receive the information in the message and use it to respond.


Automatically Collected Data

Hosting services keep standard server-log details, such as IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate patterns to maintain the service and understand use. Cookies or comparable technologies may support basic analytics and, where relevant, advertising measurement.


How Limited Data Is Used

We use limited data to run the service, diagnose problems, measure traffic, and improve information. Visitor lists are not sold, and we do not create individual visitor profiles.


External Services

Links may lead to county or state record portals, Library collections, archives, and search providers. Information submitted there is governed by that service’s policy, including information sent through sponsored search results.


Data Recipients

Hosting and support providers process necessary server-log data. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatically collected data described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.


Safeguards

The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the stated operational purposes. Because the site has no accounts, it does not keep a visitor password or account profile.


Visitors Under 18

This reference is intended for adults and does not target children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has sent information, and we will remove it.


Your Information Choices

You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal data that this service keeps about you. Research identified no general Ohio consumer data-broker deletion statute or universal opt-out tool. Because our retained data is limited, requests normally involve only the contact mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Ohio public records held by a city, county, or state custodian are outside our control; direct any correction or statutory redaction request to that office.


Policy Changes

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