Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited data Decatur Residents Directory receives, how it is handled, and the choices available to visitors. The site points to public rolls and historical collections for Decatur, Alabama. It requires no user account and does not host government records about residents.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party company that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of the query. When you send us a message, we receive the information included in it and use that material to answer.


Information Collected Automatically

Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. We review combined traffic to maintain the site and understand page use. Cookies or comparable tools may be used for basic analytics and, when present, advertising measurement.


How the Data Is Used

Data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic counts, and page improvements. We neither sell lists of visitors nor create individual user profiles.


Privacy on Linked Services

Links may lead to Morgan County, Limestone County, Alabama agency portals, archives, libraries, or outside search services. Information submitted after leaving this site is controlled by the destination's policy. Sponsored search results are also provided by an outside company.


Parties That Process Data

Hosting and support vendors process ordinary server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We otherwise disclose information only when valid legal process requires it.


Safeguards and Retention

An encrypted connection protects site traffic, and logs are retained only as long as needed for the purposes stated here. Because visitors create no accounts, this site stores no visitor password or account profile.


Visitors Under Age 18

This adult-oriented reference is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor submitted information, and we will remove it.


Your Privacy Choices

Rights to access, correct, or delete website-held personal data vary by place. Alabama has no verified comprehensive consumer privacy or data-broker deletion statute comparable to those in some states. The Alabama Data Breach Notification Act of 2018, Act 2018-396, instead addresses notice after certain unauthorized acquisitions of sensitive identifying information. Because we retain little, a request generally involves checking contact messages and available server logs. Use the Contact page. Records held by Alabama, Decatur, Morgan County, or Limestone County remain under the control of the responsible custodian.


Changes to This Policy

Revisions will appear on this page. Continued site use after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
