Privacy Policy

Douglass Township respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through this website and how we use it.

Information we collect

You can browse this website without providing any personal information. We do not ask for your name, address, or any other personal details anywhere on this site. The search box sends only the words you type, which are used to find pages and are not stored or linked to you. If you contact the township by phone or email, we use what you tell us only to respond to you.

The map on our contact page is provided by OpenStreetMap. Loading it shares your IP address with them, as loading any image or map from another website would.

Website statistics

We count how many times each page is viewed, so the township can see which services residents actually use and keep the most-used ones easy to find. This is handled by Vercel Analytics, the company that hosts this website.

It does not use cookies, does not identify you, and does not follow you to other websites. What we see is a count of visits to each page — never who made them. We do not use advertising trackers of any kind, and we do not share these statistics with anyone outside the township.

How we use information

Anything you tell the township by phone, email, or in person is used only to respond to your request and to provide township services. We do not sell your personal information.

Public records

As a unit of local government, communications you send to the township may be subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and applicable record-retention requirements.

This website may link to external sites that we do not control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.

Questions

If you have questions about this policy, please contact the township.
