Data You Give Us Directly
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is handled by the third-party provider that supplies that result feature; our servers do not retain a copy of those queries. If you contact us, we receive the information included in your message and use it only to respond or address the request.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most hosted sites, the service may log a visitor's IP address, browser type, visited pages, and time of access. We use aggregated log information to operate, secure, and understand use of the site. Cookies or similar technology may support basic analytics and, where present, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
Limited information is used to run the service, diagnose errors, measure broad traffic, and improve a page or link. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles from search activity.
Links to Other Websites
Lansing Residents Directory links to offices such as the Ingham County Register of Deeds, Ingham County Clerk and Circuit Clerk, Ingham Equalization, Michigan state portals, libraries, and archives. Those sites, along with any sponsored search provider, have their own privacy practices. Their policies govern information you submit after leaving this site.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting, analytics, security, and advertising service providers may process the automatic data described above for us. We may disclose information when legally required by valid process. Otherwise, we do not share visitor information except as needed to operate the service.
How We Protect Your Data
The site uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational uses described here. There are no site accounts, passwords, or member profiles stored by Lansing Residents Directory. No security method is absolute, but we limit collection because a reference site does not need detailed visitor information.
Users Under 18
This service is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly seek personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor sent us personal information, contact us so we can remove it from our contact records where possible.
Your Data Rights
You may ask about personal information held in a contact message or server record and request correction or deletion where applicable. Use the Contact page for that request. Government records are controlled by their custodians, not by us. Requests for a Lansing or Ingham County public record follow the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, Public Act 442 of 1976, MCL 15.231 et seq.; restricted vital records follow MCL 333.2882. Michigan's Address Confidentiality Program Act, 2020 PA 301, MCL 780.851 et seq., protects eligible participants' designated-address arrangements and is not an ordinary removal process.
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy by posting the new text here. Continued use after a posted revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
