Information You Send
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search box is passed to the third-party results provider; 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.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting services create standard logs such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We review this in aggregate for reliability and usage patterns. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, when present, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate and repair the service, measure traffic, and improve reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or 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 Information Choices
Depending on where you live, you may be able to ask for access, correction, or deletion of personal data held by a website. Because this service keeps little, a request usually involves checking the contact mailbox and available server logs, then removing applicable information. Use the Contact page to ask. Michigan FOIA, MCL 15.231 et seq., concerns existing records held by public bodies; removal requests for public records go to the relevant custodian, not this service.
Policy Revisions
A revised policy will appear here. Continued use after publication of a revision indicates acceptance of that version.
