Information You Send
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is handled by the third-party results provider; our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us directly, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
The host may create normal server logs, such as an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We use aggregate information to operate and improve the reference. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and, when present, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use this limited data to run the service, resolve technical issues, understand aggregate traffic, and improve the pages. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links can lead to Muskegon County and Michigan portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. A destination site's own policy governs information sent there, including information submitted through sponsored results.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers process logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information when valid legal process requires disclosure and otherwise only as described here.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for as long as the stated purposes require. Visitors do not create accounts here, so there is no password or account profile to protect.
Users Under 18
This reference is for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has sent information so it can be removed.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy law may provide rights to access, correct, or remove personal data held by a website. The research located no comprehensive Michigan data-broker law or universal opt-out mechanism, so requests about information we retain are handled through the contact route. Because we keep little, a request generally involves the contact mailbox and relevant logs. Public records held by Michigan, Muskegon County, or City of Muskegon custodians remain under those offices' control; direct a correction or removal request to the originating custodian.
Updates to This Policy
Updates will appear on this policy page. Continued use after a posted update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
