Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited visitor information handled by Kalamazoo Residents Directory and the choices available to readers. The service is a private reference to public records and historical collections in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It does not require an account or maintain a personal resident database.

Information You Submit

A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party results provider, not stored in a search history on our servers. If you contact us, we receive the content of that message and use it only to respond.


Automatic Technical Data

Hosting systems create standard logs such as IP address, browser type, visited pages, and time stamps. We review aggregate information to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or related technology may enable basic analytics and, when used, advertising measurement.


How We Use It

The limited data supports operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and improvements. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual reader profiles.


External Services

Links may lead to county and state portals, libraries, archives, and third-party search services. Each destination controls information submitted there under its own policy. Sponsored results are also supplied by a third party.


Service Providers and Disclosure

Providers that host or support the service process server logs on our behalf. Analytics or advertising partners can receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information when valid legal process requires it and otherwise do not share it.


Safeguards and Retention

The service uses an encrypted connection and retains logs only for the purposes described here. There are no site accounts, passwords, or reader profiles to expose.


Readers Under 18

This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor sent information, and we will remove it.


Your Information Choices

You may ask about access, correction, or deletion of personal information we hold. Because we keep little, the review generally covers the contact mailbox and relevant logs. Use the Contact page for a request. Michigan's Identity Theft Protection Act, MCL 445.61 et seq., addresses certain security-breach and identity-theft safeguards but is not a general public-record removal law. Requests concerning a state, county, or city record must go to its custodian.


Policy Changes

Revisions will appear on this page. Continued use after a revision means acceptance of the updated policy.
