Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information handled during a visit to Missaukee County Criminal History, the reasons it may be used, and the limited circumstances in which another service may receive it. Continued use of the website constitutes acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its result. We do not keep a separate local log of the terms entered in those boxes.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email or other direct message may be retained long enough to answer and manage the communication. It remains within the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

When a page loads, routine server and analytics records may capture technical details such as:

  • 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 files that can help measure traffic, page use, and navigation patterns. Analytics providers may combine those measurements into aggregate reports. A browser can block or remove cookies, although doing so may change how certain features work.

What We Do With This Data

  • Operating, securing, and improving website performance
  • Routing a submitted query to the selected search provider
  • Measuring which information visitors use most often
  • Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
  • Supporting advertising that may reflect browsing interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

No database of personal criminal records is maintained, compiled, or sold here. The published material identifies official custodians such as Missaukee Sheriff Records, the 84th District and 28th Circuit courts, the Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center, and the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or a dossier about another person, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their own privacy policies govern any information submitted to them, including retention and disclosure practices beyond our control. Review the relevant provider's terms before running a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Missaukee County offices, Michigan agencies, courts, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's policy applies. Read it before providing personal information.

Advertising providers may also use their systems to measure activity across websites and select relevant ads.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information 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 administrative and technical safeguards are used for collected data. No internet system can promise absolute security, so a breach or unauthorized access cannot be ruled out.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A verified request concerning a minor's submitted data will be handled as required by law.

Your Data Rights

Applicable privacy law and the Michigan Consumer Protection Act, MCL 445.901 et seq., may provide rights based on a person's residence and the facts involved. Michigan FOIA, MCL 15.231 et seq., governs requests to public bodies, while MCL 28.241a defines criminal-history record information held in the state system. Those public-record statutes do not convert this private website into a government custodian. Subject to applicable law, a user may:

  • 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

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A revision becomes effective when the updated text and date are posted here.

Effective date: July 28, 2026
