Information Sent Directly
Search-form entries such as a name, phone number, or address are sent to the independent provider that supplies the search 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.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting systems may create ordinary server logs, including an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of request. We use aggregated information to operate the service, diagnose errors, and understand which reference pages are useful. Cookies or similar tools may support basic measurement and advertising functions.
How Data Is Used
Technical data and messages are used to keep the service available, address problems, measure general readership, and reply to requests. We do not create a visitor list or an individual behavioral profile for sale.
External Services and Links
County and state portals, archives, libraries, and sponsored search tools operate under their own policies. Their rules apply to information submitted on their sites. Review the policy of an outside service before entering personal information or placing an order.
Service Providers
Hosting, analytics, and advertising providers can process the automatic information described above in order to support the service. Information may also be disclosed when valid legal process requires it. Otherwise, disclosure is limited to operating the service.
Safeguards and Retention
The service uses an encrypted connection where available and keeps logs only for the time reasonably needed for operations and security. There are no user accounts, passwords, or personal profile pages maintained by Hanahan Residents Directory.
Readers Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has sent information so the issue can be reviewed and handled.
Your Privacy Choices
You may ask about personal information retained in a contact message or server record, and may request correction or deletion where applicable. South Carolina's research materials did not identify a general statewide consumer-privacy statute that changes this limited policy. Public records held by the City of Hanahan, Berkeley County, Charleston County, or South Carolina are controlled by their custodians, not by this private reference. Requests to correct, seal, redact, or access those records must go to the relevant office.
Policy Revisions
Any material change to this policy will be posted here. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
