Information You Submit
A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that delivers the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the information in your message and use it to respond.
Automatically Collected Details
Routine hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We review this information in aggregate to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or comparable technologies may be used for basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
We use the limited information described above to operate the site, resolve problems, measure traffic, and improve its pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create profiles of individual visitors.
External Websites
Ann Arbor Residents Directory links to Washtenaw County and Michigan records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. The policy of the destination service governs information submitted there, including information entered through sponsored search results supplied by a third party.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process server logs for the site. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information when required by valid legal process and otherwise do not disclose it.
Safeguards and Retention
The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes described here. Because there are no visitor accounts, the site does not hold a password or account profile for you.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us so it can be deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data a website holds. The research used for this Ann Arbor reference does not identify an applicable comprehensive Michigan consumer-privacy statute, so this policy does not claim one. Because we retain very little, requests usually involve checking the contact mailbox and server logs, then removing what is found. Use the Contact page to make a request. Public records kept by Michigan, Washtenaw County, or Ann Arbor offices are outside our control and must be addressed to the record custodian.
Policy Updates
Changes to this policy will appear on this page. Continued use after a revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
