Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited data Collier County Residents Directory receives, how it is handled, and the choices available to visitors. No account is required, and we do not host personal public records. The service chiefly points readers to rolls and directory collections maintained elsewhere in Collier County and Florida.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party company that provides the result; our servers do not retain a copy of that query. When you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.


Automatic Technical Data

Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, viewed 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 similar tools.


How the Data Is Used

We use limited data to operate the service, correct faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create profiles of individual readers.


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 Data Rights

Some visitors may have rights to access, correct, or delete data kept by a website. Florida's Digital Bill of Rights, Fla. Stat. ยงยง501.701-.722, applies to specified large controllers and is not a general erasure law for public records. Because we retain little information, a request normally involves checking contact mail and available logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by Florida or Collier County offices remain under the custodian's control.


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.
