Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is handled by the third-party result provider. Our servers do not retain a copy of those search terms. If you send a message, we receive the information in that message solely to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most hosted pages, the service creates ordinary logs such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and time of access. We use aggregate information for maintenance and traffic measurement. Cookies or comparable tools may support analytics or advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
That limited information is used to operate the service, diagnose problems, measure traffic, and improve pages. We do not sell a visitor list 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 Data Rights
You may ask about access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data held by this service. Research for Michigan did not identify an enacted comprehensive consumer-privacy statute that changes this general request process. Because we retain very little, we can check the contact mailbox and applicable logs and remove what is found. Use the Contact page. Michigan, Oakland County, and Farmington Hills public records are controlled by their own custodians, so a correction or removal request for one belongs with that office.
