Data You Give Us Directly
A name, phone number, or address typed into a search form is sent to the provider that supplies results. Our servers do not keep a copy of the query. If you contact us, we receive what you include and use it to reply.
Information Collected Automatically
Hosting systems may retain routine logs, including an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. Aggregated data helps maintain the service and understand broad readership. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
This data supports site operation, technical fixes, traffic counts, and better reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create profiles of individual users.
External Websites
Links may lead to Michigan or Kalamazoo County portals, library collections, archives, and outside search tools. The privacy policy of that destination governs information submitted there, including sponsored results from a third party.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers may process these server logs. Analytics or advertising partners can receive automatic data. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires it or as stated in this policy.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only as long as needed for the stated purposes. There are no user accounts, passwords, or visitor profiles maintained here.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask about data a website retains. Research for Oshtemo Township did not identify a comprehensive Michigan consumer data-broker or opt-out statute to cite here. Because this reference keeps little visitor information, an inquiry generally concerns a message or server log. Use the Contact page. Government records held by Michigan, Kalamazoo County, or Oshtemo Township remain subject to their custodians’ rules.
Updates to This Policy
Updates will be posted here. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
