Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered in a search box are sent to the outside provider that returns the search results; this site does not store a copy of those queries on its own servers. A message sent to us contains whatever details you choose to include, which we use to respond.
Information Collected During a Visit
Routine hosting logs can include an IP address, browser information, requested pages, and visit times. Aggregate traffic information helps identify technical issues and understand general page use. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may use cookies or related technologies where those tools are enabled.
How We Use Information
Information is used to operate the reference site, troubleshoot errors, measure overall traffic, and improve its pages. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual user profiles.
External Websites and Search Tools
Links lead to government record portals, library and archive catalogues, and outside search providers. Information submitted on those services is handled under their own privacy notices. Sponsored results are supplied by a third party and follow that provider's practices.
Service Providers and Disclosures
Hosting and technical support providers may process server logs as part of keeping the site available. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information when required by valid legal process.
Safeguarding Information
The site uses an encrypted connection, and log retention is limited to the period needed for the purposes described here. Because there are no visitor accounts, this site does not keep your password or an account profile.
Children and Teen Visitors
This reference is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18; if you believe a minor has sent information to us, contact us so we can remove it.
Requests About Your Information
Depending on your location, privacy law may provide rights to review, correct, or delete personal information held by a website. To ask about information received through this site, use the Contact page; we can check the contact mailbox and site logs for the details described here. Public records maintained by Michigan state, county, and municipal offices are controlled by those custodians, so a correction or removal request must go to the office that holds the record.
Policy Changes
We will post revisions to this notice here. Continued use after a revised policy appears indicates acceptance of the updated terms.
