Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited information handled by Chesterfield Township Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. It is a Michigan public-records reference, not an account service, so registering is unnecessary and no resident record is stored for you.

Information You Provide

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the provider that supplies those results; our servers do not retain a copy of those queries. When you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.


Automatically Collected Data

Our host may create routine logs, including IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and access times. Aggregate review helps maintain the service and understand which resources are useful. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement where used.


How Information Is Used

We use this limited information to operate the reference, diagnose problems, measure aggregate traffic, and improve its pages. Visitor lists are not sold, and we do not create individual user profiles.


Links to Other Websites

We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.


Disclosure and Service Providers

Hosting and support providers process server logs for us. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose data only when valid legal process requires disclosure.


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 Choices

You may have rights to ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data a website retains, depending on where you live. Research identified no broad Michigan consumer data-broker statute in the cited Attorney General guidance; Michigan record-specific protections include the Address Confidentiality Program Act, 2020 PA 301, MCL 780.851 et seq. Because this reference keeps little data, a request normally involves the contact mailbox and available server logs. Use the Contact page. A request to remove a Michigan, Macomb County, or township public record must go to its original custodian.


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.
