Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information that may be collected while using this private Ingham County records-reference site, how it is used, and when it may be shared. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Provide

Search entries

A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those query terms on our own systems.

Messages

If you email us or submit a contact message, we keep the information needed to reply. We do not share it outside our organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Automatic Technical Information

Like most websites, we and service providers may receive technical details when a page loads:

  • IP address
  • browser type and version
  • device type and operating system
  • pages viewed and time spent on them
  • referring site, when available
  • date and time of access

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You can block them through browser settings, although some features may behave differently when cookies are blocked.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the site.
  • Send a search request to the appropriate partner service.
  • Understand which records-guide pages are useful.
  • Diagnose and correct technical problems.
  • Display advertising that may be relevant to interests.

Links and Other Services

The site links to official resources including the Ingham County inmate locator, Sheriff Central Records, courts, Michigan Department of Corrections portals, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, that destination’s privacy policy controls.

Advertising partners may track activity across websites for interest-based advertising through their own systems, not ours.


Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed or disclosed to search partners handling a request, analytics services, advertising networks, or law-enforcement and government bodies responding to a valid legal order.


Security

We use reasonable safeguards for information in our control, but no internet-connected service can promise complete security. Please avoid sending sensitive information that is unnecessary to a question.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has provided personal information, use Get in Touch so we can address deletion.


Your Choices and Requests

  • Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion where applicable.
  • Opt out of certain processing where that option applies.

Policy Updates

We may revise this notice as site practices change. Any revision will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
