Information You Submit
When a name, phone number, or address is entered into a search form, it goes to the third-party provider operating that result function. Macomb County Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those search entries. A contact message gives us the message contents so we can reply.
Data We Gather Automatically
The hosting environment records routine server-log details, including IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We review aggregate information to maintain the service and understand broad page use. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
Limited automatic data supports operations, fault diagnosis, overall traffic measurement, and improvements to the reference material. We do not sell visitor lists or build individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to county and state record portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. The policy of the destination service governs information submitted there, including information entered into sponsored search results supplied by another company.
Who Might See Your Data
Companies that host or support the service process server logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose data only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described above. There are no site accounts, so the service does not hold a visitor password or account profile.
Users Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent us information, contact us so it can be deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
No comprehensive Michigan consumer-privacy or data-broker statute providing a general deletion or universal-opt-out right was located in the official sources reviewed for this Macomb County reference. We still review requests to access, correct, or delete information we hold. Since retained data is limited, a request will generally concern the contact mailbox or server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. A request for records held by a public body follows the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, 1976 PA 442, MCL 15.231 et seq., where that law applies. Records held by Michigan, Macomb County, or municipal custodians are outside our control and must be directed to the relevant office.
Changes to This Policy
Any revised policy will be posted here. Continued use after it is posted indicates acceptance of the revision.
