Privacy Policy

This policy explains what Florence Residents Directory may collect, how that data is handled, and which choices are available. The site is a reference to public rolls and historical collections in Florence, Alabama. It requires no user account and does not host government records or build resident files.

Information You 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 a copy of that search. When you send us a message, we receive only the details included in it and use them to answer.


Information Collected Automatically

Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of access. We review combined traffic data to maintain the service and understand which resources are useful. Cookies or related tools may be used for basic analytics and, when present, advertising measurement.


How the Data Is Used

The limited data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic counts, and page improvements. We neither sell a list of visitors nor create individual user profiles.


Privacy on Linked Services

Links may lead to Lauderdale County or Alabama portals, library collections, archives, and outside search tools. Information submitted after leaving this site is controlled by the destination's privacy policy. Sponsored search results are also furnished by a third party under its own practices.


When Data Is Shared

Hosting and technical providers process server logs while supporting the site. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Data is otherwise disclosed only when valid legal process requires it.


How Information Is Safeguarded

An encrypted connection protects traffic to the site, and logs are retained only while needed for the purposes stated here. Because visitors do not create accounts, this service stores no user password or personal account profile.


Visitors Under Age 18

This service is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor submitted information so it can be removed.


Your Privacy Choices

Rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain personal data may depend on where you live. Alabama's Personal Data Protection Act, codified in title 8, chapter 44, was enacted in 2026 but does not take effect until May 1, 2027. Its exemptions also mean it does not erase public records held by government custodians. Since this service keeps little information, a request generally involves checking contact messages and available logs, then removing responsive data when required. Use the Contact page to ask. Requests about an Alabama, Lauderdale County, or Florence public record must go to the agency that holds it.
