Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or date of birth typed into a search box on this site goes to the outside company that runs that search. The partner processes the query and returns its results. Nothing about that search is stored here.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you write to us by email, the message is kept so that we can answer it. It stays with our team. We do not pass it to anyone outside the organization unless a legal requirement forces it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Basic technical details about a visit are recorded whenever a page loads. These are standard server and analytics records, not identity documents, and they include:
- The IP address your device is using
- The browser you opened and the version it runs
- The type of device and its operating system
- Which pages you read and how long each one stayed open
- The referring site, when a link brought you here
- A timestamp for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site sets cookies, which are small files saved on your device. They show which pages get traffic and where readers leave. Analytics services aggregate that pattern. Every major browser lets you block cookies, and some parts of the site may work differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
The information collected is used for a short list of purposes:
- Keeping the site online and loading quickly
- Getting your search request to the partner service that answers it
- Learning which pages help readers and which ones need work
- Finding and fixing technical problems
- Serving advertising that may match your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, build, or sell a database of warrants or warrant records. It publishes general guidance about where Missaukee County records are held, which is the sheriff's office, the 84th District Court, the 28th Circuit Court, and the Probate Court. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing gathered from visitors becomes a consumer report about anyone.
Third-Party Search Partners
A search box on these pages belongs to an outside company, and anything typed into it is handled under that company's privacy policy. Those partners decide how long they keep data and who they share it with. Review the partner's policy before you run a search.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to county offices, Michigan court systems, state agencies, and outside search tools. Following one of those links takes you to a site we do not control, and that site's policy applies from the moment you arrive. Read it before sharing personal details.
Advertising partners may also track activity across sites to choose which ads to show. That tracking happens on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold here. A limited set of parties may handle some of it:
- Search partners that process a query you run on this site
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that place ads on these pages
- Law enforcement or a government body when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security practices are used to protect what the site collects. No internet service can promise perfect safety, and a breach can never be ruled out entirely. The safeguards in place are proportionate to the small amount of information involved.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. Personal information from anyone under 18 is not knowingly collected. If you believe a minor has sent data to this site, write to us and it will be removed promptly.
Your Data Rights
Michigan law gives the public a route to records held by government bodies. The Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq., governs a request to the sheriff's office or another county department, while court files are handled under court rules such as MCR 8.119 rather than FOIA. Those laws apply to public bodies, not to this private site.
For data this site holds, you can ask us to:
- Send you a copy of what is on file about you
- Correct information that is wrong
- Delete your data
- Stop certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy can change as the site changes. A revised version takes effect when it appears on this page, and the effective date below is updated at the same time. Check back if you want to follow how information is handled.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
