Information You Send Directly
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies the result function. Our servers do not keep a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the information included in your message and use it to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Hosting systems may create routine logs containing an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of access. We review aggregate information to operate and improve the reference. Cookies or related tools may support basic analytics and, where used, advertising measurement.
How We Use Information
Information is used to run the service, diagnose problems, measure traffic, and improve pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites
Links can lead to Wayne County, Michigan, library, archive, and third-party search resources. Their privacy terms govern information submitted there. The same is true for sponsored search results supplied by a separate provider.
Who May Process Data
Providers that host or support the reference may process the server-log information described above. Analytics or advertising partners may receive automatic data for their functions. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
Data Safeguards
The reference uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. No account, password, or visitor profile is created on the site.
Visitors Under 18
The reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has sent information, and we will remove it.
Your Information Choices
Michigan research found no enacted comprehensive consumer-data privacy law at the research date. Proposed Senate Bill 359, the Personal Data Privacy Act, may change, but it does not create a current universal deletion or opt-out right. Because we retain very little, a request usually consists of checking the contact mailbox and relevant server logs, then removing information found there. Use the Contact page to make a request. Public records held by Michigan, Wayne County, or municipal custodians are outside our control and must be addressed to the office holding the record.
Changes to This Policy
Any revised policy will be posted here. Continued use after publication of a change indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
