Information You Provide
Search-form entries such as a name, phone number, or address are sent to the outside provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we use the contents of your message to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Hosting providers may record routine technical details such as IP address, browser type, page requests, and timestamps. We review aggregated data to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or similar tools can support basic measurement and, where used, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use this limited information to operate the service, correct errors, measure traffic, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links can lead to Oakland County and Michigan portals, library collections, archives, and outside search services. Information submitted after leaving this service is governed by that destination’s policy. The same applies to sponsored search results supplied by another company.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers may process logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners can receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information 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 time needed for the purposes described here. Because there are no user accounts, we do not hold an account password or member profile for visitors.
Users Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has provided information, and we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, privacy law may provide rights to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data a service keeps. We retain little, so a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and relevant logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Michigan, Oakland County, and Auburn Hills public records are controlled by their custodians, and requests concerning those records must go to the appropriate office. Michigan Freedom of Information Act access is governed by PA 442 of 1976, MCL 15.231 et seq.
Updates to This Policy
Updates will appear on this policy page. Continued use after a posted update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
