Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The partner processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or contact message as needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers receive basic technical details whenever a page loads:
- Page-view times and the pages visited
- Device type and operating system
- IP address assigned to the device
- Browser type and version
- Time spent on individual pages
- Referring website, when available
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help show which pages visitors use and where sessions end. Analytics providers combine that traffic information for us. A browser can block cookies, although doing so may change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing faults and other technical problems
- Operating the site and maintaining performance
- Routing a search query to the selected partner
- Measuring which content visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Midland County guidance points to the Sheriff's Records Bureau, county trial courts, Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center, and Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into third-party dossiers or consumer reports, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies supply the search boxes. Their privacy policies govern information submitted through those tools. Each partner controls its own retention and sharing rules, so review those terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to sheriff pages, court portals, Michigan agencies, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read it before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners processing a query you submit
- Advertising networks serving ads on these pages
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Standard safeguards protect the data we collect. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so a breach cannot be ruled out despite those measures.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18 and will remove such information when its presence is brought to our attention.
Your Data Rights
The Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq., governs records held by Michigan public bodies, while MCL 28.243 addresses certain arrest-fingerprint and disposition records. Neither law turns this private site into a public body. Where applicable law grants rights over data held here, you may:
- Request deletion of information about you
- Ask for access to information held about you
- Seek correction of inaccurate information
- Opt out of certain processing when the law permits
Updates to This Policy
Changes to this policy will be posted here with a revised effective date. Review the page periodically for updates.
