Information You Send Directly
Information entered in a search form, such as a name, telephone number, or address, is handled by the third-party provider operating the results flow. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you email us, we receive the contents needed to respond to that message.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting services may create ordinary logs, including IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review that information in aggregate for security, performance, and page-use patterns. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement where used.
What We Do With This Data
The limited data supports operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and improvements. We do not sell visitor lists or create profiles of individual visitors.
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 Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask about personal data a website retains. The research did not identify a general Michigan consumer-privacy statute governing this small reference service. Because the service retains very little, an inquiry usually means checking the contact mailbox and available server logs, then removing applicable information. Use the Contact page to ask. Official records held by Michigan, Wayne County, or Canton Township remain under the responsible custodian's rules, including the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq.
