Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited data handled by Berkeley County Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. It is a private South Carolina reference to public records and historical collections. No account is required, and the reference does not store government records about its users.

Information You Provide

Search-form entries, such as a name, phone number, or address, are sent to the third-party service that supplies results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains only what you choose to include, and we use it to respond.


Automatic Technical Data

Hosting systems maintain standard logs, including IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and time data. We review that information in aggregate to maintain the service and understand use. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where applicable.


How Limited Data Is Used

The limited information supports operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and improvements. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles.


External Services

Links may lead to Berkeley County or South Carolina records portals, libraries, archives, and third-party search services. The policy of the destination service controls information submitted there. This includes sponsored-result providers.


Service Providers and Disclosure

Hosting and support providers process logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.


Safeguards and Retention

The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes described above. Because there are no user accounts, the reference holds no visitor password or account profile.


Visitors Under 18

This reference 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 provided information so it can be removed.


Your Information Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask about access, correction, or deletion of personal data a website retains. South Carolina research did not identify a general consumer-privacy statute applicable to this limited reference. We search the contact mailbox and available server logs for a request and remove information we find when appropriate. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by South Carolina or Berkeley County custodians are outside our control, and requests about those records belong with the responsible office.


Policy Changes

Any revision will appear on this page. Continued use after a posted change means acceptance of the revised policy.
