Privacy Policy

This policy covers what data Sarasota County Residents Directory collects, what happens to it, and your choices. It stays short because we collect very little: the site is a reference to public rolls and directory collections in Sarasota County, Florida - it needs no account and stores no records about you.

Information You Choose to Submit

A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies those results; our servers do not retain the query. When you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them only to respond.


Data We Gather Automatically

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

Operating the site, fixing problems, counting traffic, improving pages. We do not sell visitor lists and we do not build profiles of individual users.


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 Privacy Choices

Florida's Digital Bill of Rights, Fla. Stat. §§501.701-501.722, provides access, correction, deletion, and opt-out rights in covered circumstances for qualifying controllers. Because this site retains almost no submitted information, a request generally means checking the contact mailbox and ordinary server logs and deleting what is found. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records maintained by Florida state, county, or municipal offices remain outside our control and are governed by Article I, §24 of the Florida Constitution and Florida's Public Records Law, Fla. Stat. chapter 119, including its exemptions. Requests about those records 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.
