Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited data Margate Residents Directory receives and the choices available to visitors. No account is required, and we do not host personal records from Margate, Broward County, or Florida agencies.

Information You Submit

A third-party provider receives names, phone numbers, or addresses entered into a search form. Our servers do not retain those searches. When you contact us, we receive the details in your message and use them to answer.


Automatic Technical Data

Our hosting keeps ordinary server logs: IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We look at this in aggregate to keep the site healthy and to see which pages readers use. Cookies or similar technologies may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.


How We Use Limited Data

Technical data helps operate the service, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual visitor profiles.


Links to Other Websites

We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.


Who Might See Your Data

The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.


How We Protect Your Data

The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.


Users Under 18

The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.


Your Privacy Choices

Florida's Digital Bill of Rights, Fla. Stat. ยงยง501.701-.719, applies to covered controllers and provides qualifying rights concerning personal data. Because we retain little information, a request normally involves checking contact mail and server logs. Use the Contact page. Public records held by Margate, Broward County, or Florida remain under each custodian's control, so correction or confidentiality requests must go to that office.


Updates to This Policy

Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
