Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query under its own policy. We do not keep or log those search terms in our own system.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, we retain the 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 information whenever a page loads:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure traffic, popular pages, and points where visits end. Analytics providers aggregate those signals. You may block cookies in your browser, although some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not keep, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The website explains how to reach the Isabella County Sheriff, Trial Court, Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center, and Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not turned into a third-party dossier or consumer report, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the embedded search tools. Their privacy policies, retention rules, and disclosure practices govern information submitted there. Review the provider's terms before running a query because we do not control those systems.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Isabella County offices, Michigan agencies, courts, legal resources, or outside tools. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy policy controls. Read it before supplying personal information.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices protect the information we collect. No internet system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Information known to have come from a minor will be deleted.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Michigan consumer-protection law, including the Michigan Consumer Protection Act, MCL 445.901 et seq., may provide additional rights. You may also:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
