Information Submitted Directly
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is handled by the third-party results provider. Our servers do not retain a copy of those search entries. If you contact us, the message supplies the information used to respond.
Automatically Collected Details
Routine hosting logs can record an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review that information in aggregate for reliability and page-use patterns. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and, when used, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate the service, diagnose problems, measure aggregate traffic, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services
Links lead to county and state record portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Any information submitted after following a link is governed by that outside service’s policy. The same applies to sponsored-result tools supplied by a third party.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. Disclosure otherwise occurs only when valid legal process requires it.
Security Practices
The service uses an encrypted connection and retains logs only for the operational purposes described above. No visitor account, password, or site profile is created here.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor has sent information and it will be removed.
Your Information Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion of data a service retains. Because this service keeps little information, a request generally concerns the contact mailbox or operational logs. Michigan’s record-specific privacy rules include MCL 168.509gg for protected voter-file fields, MCL 257.208c for driver information, and MCL 780.851 et seq. for the Address Confidentiality Program. Use the Contact page for information held by this service; request changes to a public record from its government custodian.
Policy Changes
A revised policy will be posted here. Continued use after publication of a revision means acceptance of the updated policy.
