Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name or location in a search tool, the query is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s own privacy notice governs the query after it reaches that provider.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or another direct message to the site, we may retain the message and contact details long enough to respond or maintain a related record. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a law, subpoena, court order, or other valid legal requirement requires disclosure.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may automatically receive limited technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- Referring website, if one is provided
- Access dates and times
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies help us understand site use and keep features working. A visitor can block or remove cookies through browser settings, although some functions may operate differently when cookies are disabled.
Why We Use Information
Information collected through the site may be used for ordinary operation and improvement, including the following purposes:
- Operate, secure, and improve page delivery
- Send a search request to the partner selected by a visitor
- Understand which guides and links visitors find useful
- Diagnose errors and protect against misuse
- Display advertising that may reflect browsing interests
Other Websites and Advertising
The site links to official Newaygo County, Michigan, federal, and third-party resources. Once a visitor follows a link to a Sheriff, court, corrections, custody-status, or search-provider site, that destination’s privacy practices apply. We do not control its content, security, availability, or data handling.
Advertising providers may use their own technologies to measure activity across websites and tailor advertising on their systems. Their collection and choices are governed by their separate policies.
Recipients of Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed or disclosed to the limited categories below when needed for the stated purpose:
- Search partners that receive a visitor’s submitted query
- Analytics providers that help measure site performance
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertisements
- Government or law-enforcement authorities when a valid legal demand requires it
Security Measures
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect the information we handle. No website, transmission, or internet-connected service can promise absolute security, so visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal information unless it is necessary and appropriate.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and is not directed to people under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a minor. If we learn that a minor submitted personal information, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Your Data Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, a visitor may ask about personal information held by the site. Available requests can include:
- Receiving a copy of personal information we hold
- Correcting information that is inaccurate
- Requesting deletion of information we no longer need to retain
- Opting out of certain processing where an applicable right exists
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as the site or its services change. Any revision will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
