Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other detail entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Leelanau County Recent Arrests does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its receipt and handling of the query.
Emails and Contact Messages
When you email or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not disclose that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Details Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our systems and service providers receive basic technical and usage details when a page loads. These records help deliver pages, maintain security, and understand site performance.
- The internet protocol address used for the visit
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- Date and time stamps for requests
Cookie Use
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site and may support advertising functions. You can reject or delete cookies through browser controls. Blocking them may cause some features or partner services to operate differently.
How Information Supports the Site
Collected information is used only for ordinary operating, routing, measurement, maintenance, and advertising needs.
- Keep pages available, responsive, and secure
- Send a search request to the selected partner tool
- Learn which Leelanau County record pages visitors find useful
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and other technical problems
- Present advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests
Privacy After Following a Link
Links may lead to Leelanau County Corrections, county records pages, Michigan court and corrections portals, federal locators, news publications, or third-party search tools. Once you follow one, the destination’s own privacy notice and data practices apply. We do not control those systems.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites or select interest-based ads. That collection occurs on the partner’s systems, not ours, and is governed by the partner’s policies and available opt-out tools.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may nevertheless reach service providers or authorities when needed for the functions described in this notice.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security, Not a Guarantee
We use customary administrative and technical safeguards suited to the information we handle. Every internet-connected service carries risk, however. No transmission, storage system, or security practice can be promised as breach-proof, and we do not guarantee absolute security.
Visitors Must Be Adults
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor sent information to us, use the Contacts page so we can review and delete it when appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, you may ask us to address personal data associated with you.
- Request a copy of personal information we hold
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request deletion of eligible information
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where available
These choices apply to data under our control. Requests about a county record, VINELink entry, court file, or another linked service must go to that source.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as site practices, providers, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and continued use after posting is subject to the revised notice.
