Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, a date of birth, or a case number typed into one of the search boxes on this site goes directly to the outside provider that runs that tool. The provider handles the query and returns the results. We do not keep or log the terms you enter on our side.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we hold onto the message so we can answer it. It stays inside our team, and we do not pass it to anyone outside our organization unless a legal requirement forces us to.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each time a page here loads, our servers record a set of technical details about the visit:
- The IP address your device is using
- Your browser and its version
- Your operating system and device type
- Pages viewed and the time spent on each
- The referring site, when there is one
- A timestamp for every page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site places cookies, which are small files stored on your device. They show us which pages draw traffic and where readers tend to leave. Analytics providers help us roll that traffic data into summaries. You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time, though a few parts of the site may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site online and loading quickly
- Routing your search request to the correct partner service
- Learning which pages help readers and which need another look
- Finding and fixing technical problems
- Serving ads that may match your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell databases of warrants or personal warrant records. What we publish is general guidance about where Washtenaw County warrant records live and how to reach them, including the Sheriff's Office, the district and circuit courts, and the court records desk. Michigan has no single public warrant search that covers every court, so the route runs through the issuing court rather than a countywide index. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing we collect about visitors is assembled into consumer reports or files about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes here are operated by outside companies. Whatever you type into one of those tools is handled under that company's privacy policy rather than this one. Those providers decide how long they keep data and with whom they share it, and we have no say in it. Read the partner's policy before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
Pages on this site link to county court pages, Sheriff's Office resources, state court systems, legal aid organizations, and outside search providers. Following one of those links takes you away from this site, and the destination's privacy policy then applies. Read it before you share personal details.
Some advertising partners may follow your activity across websites in order to show targeted ads. That tracking runs inside their systems and not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may reach:
- Search partners that process queries you run here
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices for the data we hold. No site connected to the internet is completely safe, so we cannot promise that a breach will never happen, only that we take reasonable steps to prevent one.
Users Under 18
This site is built for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has given us data, contact us and we will remove it promptly.
Your Data Rights
Michigan law and federal rules may give you rights over the personal data you share. The state's public-records framework, the Michigan Freedom of Information Act at MCL 15.231 et seq., governs requests made to government bodies rather than to this private site, and Michigan's consumer-protection and identity-theft laws address how personal information may be used and safeguarded. At a minimum, you can ask us to:
- Provide a copy of what we hold about you
- Correct information that is wrong
- Delete your data
- Stop certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This privacy policy may change over time. When it does, the revised version appears on this page with a new effective date. Come back to this page if you want to track how your information is handled.
