Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that powers the result flow; our servers do not retain a separate copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the content of your message and use it to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting records ordinary technical logs, including IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We review this information in aggregate to maintain the service and understand which records-reference pages are used. Cookies or similar technologies may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where applicable.
What We Do With This Data
We use this data to operate the service, address technical issues, measure aggregate traffic, and improve reference content. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search services. The receiving service’s own policy applies to information submitted there, including any sponsored search-result provider.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers process server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires it.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are kept only for the purposes described here. There are no visitor accounts, passwords, or resident profiles stored by this reference.
Users Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18; contact us if you believe a minor has provided information so it can be removed.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data a website keeps. Michigan Attorney General guidance states that Michigan does not currently have a comprehensive consumer data-privacy law of the type sometimes assumed, while sectoral and federal rules still apply. Because this reference keeps very little data, a request normally involves the contact mailbox and relevant logs. Use the Contact page. Public records held by Michigan, Washtenaw County, or city custodians remain outside our control and must be addressed to that custodian.
Updates to This Policy
Changes to this policy will appear on this page. Continued use after a posted update means acceptance of the revised policy.
