Last Updated Date
Policy Type

Introduction
Traverse Area District Library (TADL) respects user privacy and is committed to protecting it through compliance with this policy. This policy describes the types of information that may be collected from or provided by user(s) of TADL mobile applications and any Libraries under mobile app service agreements with TADL (collectively referred to as 'the Apps'), and describes practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

Information Collected by TADL
TADL collects information provided by user(s) when the Apps are used, such as searching the catalog or logging into the user’s account. This information may include:

  • Search queries
  • Login credentials (passwords are redacted in logs)
  • Item requests / suggestions

 This data is only temporarily available in application logs for troubleshooting purposes.

How TADL Uses Information Collected
The information TADL collects is used solely to enable users to interact with the Apps and ensure their functionality. TADL does not use collected information for analytics, personalized content, or any other purpose.

Data Sharing
We do not share user(s) data with any third parties.

Data Retention
Application logs, which may contain user data, may be retained for up to 24 hours before being deleted.

User Rights
Given the temporary nature of data retention and its use solely for app functionality, users do not have specific rights regarding data access, correction, or deletion.

Data Security
TADL implements industry best practices to secure our application servers, including the use of firewalls and other security measures to protect user(s) data.

Children’s Privacy
The Apps are not directed at children under 13, and TADL does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy
TADL’s privacy policy is available at https://www.tadl.org/mobileapppolicy. Any updates to this policy will be posted there and in the app update notes.
