Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box passes to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy governs its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
An email or contact-form message may be retained long enough to review and answer it. Message content is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal order.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine logs and measurement services can record technical details when a page loads. This information supports operation, security, and an understanding of how the site is used.
- The connecting IP address.
- The browser name and version.
- The device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookie Use
Cookies may help measure visits and remember how features are used. Browser controls can reject or remove them, although blocking cookies may cause some functions to behave differently.
Purposes for Using Data
Collected information is used only for normal site and service functions.
- Keep pages available, stable, and responsive.
- Send a search request to the selected outside provider.
- Measure which pages visitors find useful.
- Locate errors, misuse, and technical failures.
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to Midland County release records, sheriff and MDOC pages, government portals, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy terms control its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across more than one website and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs under the partner’s practices, not this site’s direct control.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold. Information may still reach a limited set of service recipients when needed for the stated purpose.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used to reduce risk. No internet service, device, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure, so this site cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information actually held, a person may ask to exercise these choices.
- Request a copy of personal data held by the site.
- Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected.
- Request deletion of personal data.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as the site or its services change. An updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
