Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies results. Avon Residents Directory does not keep a separate copy of those queries. If you contact us, we receive the information included in your message and use it to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most hosted sites, the service may log an IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time of access. We review that information in aggregate for operation and page-use trends. Cookies or comparable tools may support ordinary analytics and, where relevant, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use this limited data to operate the reference, address technical issues, understand aggregate traffic, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
Links lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. The policy of the destination service controls information submitted there. Sponsored results are likewise provided by a third party.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and technical providers process necessary server information for us. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information only when required by valid legal process.
How We Protect Your Data
The reference uses an encrypted connection and retains logs only as long as operational purposes require. Because there are no site accounts, the reference does not hold visitor passwords or account profiles.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If you think a minor has sent us information, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to seek access, correction, or deletion of personal data a website keeps. Ohio has no verified general consumer deletion law applicable to public-record data; Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1354 is a voluntary cybersecurity safe-harbor framework, not a statewide data-broker deletion statute. Because this reference keeps little data, requests usually involve the contact mailbox or operational logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Records held by Ohio, Lorain County, or Avon custodians must be addressed to the responsible office.
Updates to This Policy
Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use after a posted change indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
