About this website
This is Josh Stump's personal website. It is separate from the official Bedford Township and Michigan Senate websites.
Messages and email updates
The contact form collects your name, email address, chosen topic, and message so Josh can review and respond. Messages are saved in the website's private inbox and are not displayed publicly. Submitting a message does not subscribe you to updates.
The updates form collects your email address and, if you provide them, your name and ZIP code. It also records the time, signup source, and wording of your consent. These details are saved for occasional email updates from Josh. Signing up is optional.
To correct or delete a submission or stop receiving updates, email josh@joshstump.com. If an email includes an unsubscribe link, you can use that link too.
Storage and site security
The site's hosting service stores submissions for Josh to access through a protected owner inbox. To limit spam, the form service temporarily stores a one-way security hash derived from your connection address and a count of recent submissions. It does not store your raw IP address in the form database. Expired rate-limit entries are removed as later forms are processed. The hosting provider may separately process technical connection information to operate and secure the service.
No standalone advertising pixels or analytics scripts have been added to this site's page code.
Contacting the right office
Email and telephone links open your own email or calling application. The copy-email button uses your browser's clipboard feature. Please avoid including account passwords, Social Security numbers, or sensitive records in an initial message. Use the official township website or Senator Bellino's official contact form for government services.
External websites and videos
Links to other websites take you to services with their own privacy practices. The government pages include Facebook videos, and the Local Government page includes a YouTube meeting playlist. These players load when you choose to watch. Facebook and YouTube may then process connection and playback information under their own privacy practices.
Accessibility
The site includes keyboard navigation, a skip-to-content link, visible focus indicators, labeled forms, and layouts that adapt to smaller screens. Video accessibility features vary by source. If something is difficult to access or you need a transcript, email josh@joshstump.com with the page or video and what would help.
