Information You Provide
Search Queries
Names, locations, or other search terms entered into a sponsored search tool may be sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own public-record database.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the message and return address may be kept long enough to review and respond. Messages are not sold. They may be shared if required by law or a valid legal order.

Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail information pages, court portals, the Michigan Department of Corrections, federal locators, and search partners. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy rules of the destination website apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure or personalize ads across websites. Their practices are governed by their own notices, not by Michigan FOIA, MCL 15.231 et seq., which applies to public bodies and public records rather than this private website.

- Analytics providers that measure traffic.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.

Security
Reasonable security practices are used for the site, but no internet-connected service can be promised as breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal details unless needed for a specific message.
