Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited information Fort Wayne Residents Directory receives, how it may be used, and the choices available to visitors. No account is required. The site points readers toward public rolls and historical collections for Fort Wayne, Indiana, and it does not maintain its own resident-record database.

Information You Submit

A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party service that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them to respond.


Information Collected Automatically

Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We review aggregate activity to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may rely on cookies or similar tools where applicable.


How Information Is Used

Limited visitor data supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual user profiles.


Services Beyond This Website

Links may lead to Allen County and Indiana records portals, libraries, archives, or outside search services. Information entered on those services is controlled by their own privacy terms. Sponsored results are also delivered by a separate provider.


When Information Is Shared

Hosting and support vendors process server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We may also disclose information when valid legal process compels us to do so.


Safeguarding Limited Data

An encrypted connection protects traffic in transit, and logs are retained only as long as needed for the stated purposes. Because there are no user accounts, this site does not hold a visitor password or account profile.


Visitors Under 18

This service is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor appears to have submitted information so that it can be removed.


Your Privacy Choices

Indiana's Consumer Data Protection Act, IC 24-15, provides qualifying consumers with rights that can include access, correction, deletion, portability, and opting out of specified processing, subject to the statute's scope and exceptions. A request to us generally involves checking the contact mailbox and available server logs because little data is retained. Use the Contact page to submit one. Records held by Fort Wayne, Allen County, or Indiana agencies remain under the control of those custodians. Their disclosure duties and exceptions arise from laws such as the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3, and a removal or correction request must go to the office holding the record.


Changes to This Policy

Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
