Information You Provide
Search requests
A name, location, or other term entered into a search feature is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. A partner’s handling of a query is subject to that partner’s policy and terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or another direct message, we retain the information needed to read, respond to, and manage that communication. We do not share the contents outside our organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Technical Visit Data
Like most websites, we may receive routine technical information when a browser loads a page. This helps keep the Leelanau County reference pages functioning, detect errors, and understand broad site use. It does not turn this site into the custodian of any Sheriff, jail, court, or MDOC record.
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on a page.
- Referring site, when available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support certain features. Browser settings can limit or block cookies. Some functions may respond differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
The information described above is used for practical site operations, not to create a Leelanau County booking database. It can help route a query to a partner service, maintain page performance, identify useful material, resolve technical problems, and display advertising that may be based on interests.
- Operate and improve site performance.
- Send search requests to the relevant partner service.
- Understand which pages visitors use.
- Diagnose errors and security concerns.
- Support advertising supplied through advertising partners.
Outside Websites and Ads
Links may lead to the Leelanau County Sheriff, the Corrections Division, the county courts, the Michigan Department of Corrections, federal services, and independent search resources. Once a visitor leaves this site, that organization’s privacy rules apply. We do not control its content, availability, or information practices.
Advertising providers may measure activity across multiple sites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Their collection and choices are governed by their policies, rather than this notice.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may reach service providers that help operate the features described here, or a public authority when a valid legal order requires it.
- Search partners that receive a submitted query.
- Analytics services that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body responding to a valid legal order.
Data Security
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect the information we handle. No internet-connected system can promise complete security, however, and we cannot guarantee that a transmission or stored data will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor supplied personal information may request its deletion through Get in Touch.
Your Data Choices
A visitor may ask about personal information that we hold directly. The request should be specific enough for us to identify the related communication or record in our systems.
- Request a copy of personal information held directly by us.
- Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected.
- Request deletion where appropriate.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where an option is available.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as operations, providers, or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date. Questions about this private site’s data practices can be sent through Get in Touch.
