Privacy Notice

This notice explains what data may be collected, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

A name or location entered in a search tool passes to the third-party provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms. Messages sent to us are retained as needed to reply and are not shared outside the organization unless the law requires it.


Technical Data and Cookies

Page visits may produce an IP address, browser and version, device and operating system, pages viewed, time spent, referring site, and timestamps. Cookies help measure site use. Browser settings can block cookies, though some functions may then behave differently.


How Data Is Used

  • Operate and improve site performance.
  • Send searches to the selected partner.
  • Understand useful pages and repair technical problems.
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.

Outside Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to the Charlevoix County Sheriff, courts, MDOC, federal locators, news sources, and outside search services. Their privacy policies control after a visitor leaves this site. Advertising partners may track activity across websites on their own systems.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal data. Information may reach search partners that process queries, analytics providers, advertising networks, or law-enforcement and government bodies acting under a valid legal order.


Security Measures

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used, but no internet-connected service can promise complete security or guarantee that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Use Contact Us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a person may ask for a copy of data we hold, request correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. Michigan public records held by a public body are governed separately by Michigan FOIA, MCL 15.231 through 15.246.

This notice may be revised. An updated version and effective date will be posted on this page.
