Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the outside provider that operates the result service. Norton Shores Residents Directory does not keep a separate copy of that search. A contact message gives us the details in the message and is used only to respond.
Automatically Collected Details
Standard hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of access. We review aggregated information to maintain the service and understand general use. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic measurement and advertising functions.
How Information Is Used
Limited data supports operation, error correction, aggregate traffic measurement, and improvements. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
County and state portals, library collections, archives, and sponsored result providers operate under their own policies. Their terms govern information submitted after leaving this service, including information entered into a third-party search form.
Who Might See Your Data
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
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 Privacy Requests
You may ask about access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data held by this service. Because the service keeps very little, a request generally concerns a contact message or log data. Use the Contact page to ask. Michigan public records remain under the authority of the state, county, city, court, library, or other custodian that holds them. Requests concerning those records go to that custodian under its applicable rules, including the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq.
Updates to This Policy
Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
