Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you enter a name, county, or location into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own database of those search terms.
Messages You Send
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to review and respond to it. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect routine technical information when a page loads. That information helps us understand traffic, performance, and errors.
- Your IP address.
- Browser type and browser version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps for visits and requests.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to measure how visitors use the site, remember basic preferences, and support advertising or analytics services. You can block cookies in your browser, although some tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Antrim County jail, court, FOIA, MDOC, and locator pages visitors use most.
- To detect errors, broken links, abuse, and security issues.
- To display advertising that may be related to visitor interests.
Other Websites and Tools
This site links to public offices and outside tools, including Antrim County pages, sheriff and jail resources, Michigan FOIA materials, MDOC OTIS, VINELink, court portals, and third-party search providers. Once you leave this site, the privacy practices of the destination site control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking is handled through their platforms, not through a public-record database maintained here.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be shared with the following parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that support site ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful process requires it.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof. You should avoid sending sensitive personal details unless they are necessary for your message.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
