Information You Provide
Search-form entries, such as a name, phone number, or address, are sent to the outside provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains only the information included in that message and is used to respond.
Automatically Collected Details
Hosting services may create standard server logs, including IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review aggregated activity to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or similar tools may also support basic analytics and advertising measurement where available.
How Limited Data Is Used
We use the limited information described here to operate the reference, diagnose issues, measure aggregate traffic, and improve its pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
Links may lead to county or state portals, archives, library collections, and third-party search services. The policy of the destination service governs information entered there. This includes sponsored search results, which are supplied by a third party.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process server-log data on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed only when a valid legal requirement applies.
Data Security
The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for as long as the purposes described above require. There are no user accounts, passwords, or visitor profiles stored by this reference.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has sent information so it can be removed.
Requests About Your Data
You may ask about personal information that this reference keeps. Because the site retains very little, we can review the contact mailbox and relevant server logs and remove what is found when appropriate. Use the Contact page for a request. Michigan public records held by city, county, or state custodians are outside our control, and correction or restriction requests must go to the office that holds the record. The research did not identify an enacted comprehensive Michigan consumer-data law that changes this process.
