Information You Submit
Search terms
A name or location entered into a search box passes to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own system.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard technical records may be created when a browser requests a page. They can include:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support site functions or advertising. A browser can block or delete cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information helps operate and improve the service. It may be used to keep pages available, route a search to the proper partner, measure which content is useful, diagnose technical faults, and display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.
Links and Advertising
The site links to Sheriff records, Michigan corrections pages, courts, federal locators, and outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s own privacy terms apply.
Advertising providers may use their systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. Their collection does not take place under this site’s direct control.
When Information May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may still reach a search provider that handles a submitted query, an analytics service, an advertising network, or a government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical steps are used to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, uninterrupted protection, or a breach-proof system.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from a person under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may ask that it be deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, a person may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, seek correction, request deletion, or object to certain processing. These rights concern data held by this site, not a government record maintained under Michigan law.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as services or practices change. An updated version takes effect when posted here with a new effective date.
