Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered in a search form are sent to the third-party service that supplies results. Walker Residents Directory does not keep a copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains only what the sender provides and is used to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Normal hosting logs may include an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of access. We review this information in aggregate for maintenance and readership patterns. Cookies or similar tools can support basic analytics and, when used, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
The limited information supports site operation, security, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We do not sell a visitor list or create profiles of individual readers.
External Services
Links lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Each destination’s own privacy policy controls information submitted there. Sponsored results are also supplied by a third party.
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 service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described above. There are no user accounts, passwords, or resident profiles stored by this service.
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 a visitor lives, they may have rights to ask for access, correction, or deletion of personal data a service keeps. The research did not identify a single Michigan consumer-data-broker deletion statute or portal that applies here. Because this service keeps very little, a request normally concerns a contact message or server log. Use the Contact page to make that request. Public records held by Michigan, Kent County, or Walker offices remain under the control of their custodians.
Updates to This Policy
Policy changes will appear here. Continuing to use the service after publication indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
