Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited information handled by Marquette Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. The service is a private reference to public-record custodians and historical collections in Marquette, Michigan. It does not require an account and does not host government records.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies that result service. Marquette Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.

Automatic Technical Data

Hosting systems may record ordinary log information such as an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and time of access. We use aggregated information to operate, troubleshoot, and understand the reference. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.

How We Use Information

Information is used to operate the service, address errors, measure general traffic, and improve local record references. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.

External Record Links

Links may lead to Marquette County, City of Marquette, Michigan, library, archive, and third-party search services. Their privacy terms govern information submitted on their systems. The same is true of sponsored search results provided by another company.

Service Providers and Disclosures

Hosting and support providers can process the technical information described above on our behalf. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the related automatic data. We disclose information when valid legal process requires disclosure.

Protecting Limited Data

The reference uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for as long as the operational purposes require. There are no user accounts, stored passwords, or visitor profiles maintained by this reference.

Visitors Under 18

The 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 has sent information so it can be removed.

Data Requests and Public Records

You may ask about personal information held in our contact mailbox or logs through the Contact page. Michigan does not have a comprehensive consumer-privacy deletion and universal-opt-out law identified in the research. Public records held by a City of Marquette, Marquette County, or Michigan custodian are outside our control. For those records, contact the custodian and identify the relevant confidentiality or redaction basis; Michigan FOIA is MCL 15.231 et seq.

Policy Changes

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