Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited data Athens Residents Directory handles, how it may be used, and the choices available to visitors. The private reference requires no user account and does not host government records about Athens, Georgia residents.

Information You Submit

A third-party provider receives any name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form and supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them to answer.


Information Collected Automatically

Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate patterns to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or comparable technologies.


What We Do With This Data

We use this limited information to operate the service, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual user profiles.


Privacy on Linked Services

Links lead to Athens-Clarke and Georgia record portals, libraries, archives, and third-party search services. Information submitted after leaving this site is controlled by the destination's privacy policy. Sponsored search results are also supplied by an outside company.


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 Privacy Choices

Your place of residence may provide rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. The reviewed Georgia materials did not identify a broad consumer-data deletion statute comparable to comprehensive laws in some other states. Because we retain very little, a request generally means checking our contact mailbox and available server logs, then deleting responsive material where appropriate. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by Georgia, Athens-Clarke County, or another public custodian are beyond our control; requests to correct or remove those records must go to the source office.


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.
