Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the third-party service that supplies results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the information in your message and use it to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Hosting systems may create standard logs, such as an IP address, browser type, page request, and timestamp. We review this information in aggregate for maintenance and page-use trends. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate the site, address technical issues, measure aggregate traffic, and improve the reference material. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites
Links may lead to Mahoning County and Ohio portals, library collections, archives, or third-party search tools. Each destination controls the information submitted there under its own privacy policy. This includes sponsored search results supplied by another company.
Who Processes Information
Hosting and support providers process server logs for the site. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed when required by valid legal process and not for unrelated purposes.
Security and Retention
The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. There are no site accounts, so this site does not keep a visitor password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Privacy Choices
You may ask about personal information this site holds by using the Contact page. Ohio has no enacted broad CCPA-style data-broker deletion law identified in the research. Ohio Public Records Act, ORC 149.43, governs access to custodial government records, while ORC 149.45 permits a qualifying person to request practical redaction of specified personal information from an internet record held by a public office. Those government records and requests remain under the relevant custodian's control, not ours.
Policy Updates
Changes to this policy will appear on this page. Continued use after a posted revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
