Information You Submit
Search-form entries, including names, phone numbers, or addresses, are sent to the third-party results provider. Hamtramck Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those queries on its own servers. A message sent to us contains only the information included in that message and is used to respond.
Data We Gather Automatically
Hosting infrastructure may create routine logs, such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of access. We review aggregate information to maintain the service and understand general use. Cookies or comparable technology may support basic analytics or advertising measurement when applicable.
What We Do With This Data
That limited information is used to operate the service, correct problems, measure traffic, and improve the reference material. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
Links lead to county and state portals, archives, library collections, and third-party search services. The operator of each destination controls the data submitted there under its own policy. The same is true for sponsored result services supplied by another company.
Who Might See Your Data
Companies that host or support the service may process routine logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners can receive the automatic information described above. Information is otherwise disclosed only when valid legal process requires it.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and routine logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. Because there are no user accounts, the site does not maintain a visitor password or account profile.
Users Under 18
This service is intended for adults, not 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 a visitor lives, privacy law may provide a right to request access, correction, or deletion of data a website retains. Because this service keeps very little, a request generally involves checking the contact mailbox and applicable server logs, then deleting data located there. Use the Contact page to make a request. Government records are controlled by their Michigan, Wayne County, or Hamtramck custodian, not by this private service; contact that office for a public-record request or correction.
Updates to This Policy
Updates will appear here when this policy changes. Continuing to use the service after a posted revision indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
