Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. Grand Traverse County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
An email or contact submission may be kept long enough to understand and answer the message. Its contents are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Normal web systems may record basic technical details when a page loads. That information can include:
- The visitor's internet protocol address.
- The browser name and version.
- The device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookie Use
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site and which pages are useful. A browser can refuse or remove cookies. Some functions may respond differently when cookies are blocked.
Reasons Data Is Used
Collected data supports ordinary operation and measurement. It may be used to:
- Keep pages available and responsive.
- Send a search request to the selected partner.
- Measure which resources visitors use.
- Locate faults and repair technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Privacy Beyond This Website
Links may lead to Grand Traverse County release-record offices, sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's own privacy notice and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their systems to observe activity across more than one website and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the partner's controls, not this site's.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may still be handled by:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver ads.
- Law enforcement or another public body acting under a valid legal order.
Security Has Practical Limits
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information. No internet service, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so the site cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Must Be Adults
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact the site to request its deletion.
Available Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law and the data held, a user may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information on file.
- Correct personal information that is wrong.
- Delete personal information where required.
- Opt out of certain forms of processing.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as the site or its practices change. A new version becomes effective when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
