Privacy Policy

This policy describes the small amount of information handled by Summerville Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. The service is a reference to public custodians and collections, requires no account, and does not host government records.

Information You Send

Search-form entries such as a name, telephone number, or address are sent to the third-party provider that supplies results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When a visitor contacts us, we receive the contents of that message and use it to respond.

Automatic Technical Data

Hosting systems may create ordinary server logs, including IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review aggregate technical information to operate and improve the service. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement where used.

How Information Is Used

Message contents are used to answer the sender. Technical logs help with security, maintenance, and understanding page use. We do not sell a visitor’s contact message or turn a visitor’s search entry into a resident record.

External Websites

Links may open government portals, library catalogs, archives, or sponsored tools. Each outside service controls its own privacy practices, terms, availability, and information handling. Review that service’s policy before submitting information there.

Who Can Receive Data

Hosting and support providers may process server-log information for this service. Analytics and advertising providers may receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed when a valid legal process requires it, and otherwise only as needed to run the service.

Security Measures

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures for the limited information under our control. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure, so visitors should avoid sending sensitive information through an ordinary contact message.

Visitors Under 18

This service is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If a parent or guardian believes a child submitted personal information, contact us so the message can be addressed.

Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live, you may be able to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information a website holds. South Carolina does not have a generally applicable consumer-privacy statute cited in the research materials; public records held by state, county, or Town custodians are instead governed by their own rules, including the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act, S.C. Code Ann. §§ 30-4-10 et seq. Contact us to request review of a message or data under our control. Requests concerning a public record belong with its custodian.

Policy Updates

We may revise this policy when the service or applicable requirements change. The current version is posted here, and continued use after an update means the revised policy applies.
