Privacy Notice

This notice describes what Hillsdale County Recent Arrests receives, how that information is used, and when another party may process it. It also explains cookies, security limits, and visitor choices. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Submit

Search entries

A name or location entered in a search box goes to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages sent to us

We retain an email or contact message as needed to answer it. Message content is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected

Normal web logs and measurement tools can receive technical details when a page loads, including:

  • The internet protocol address used for the request
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • The referring site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject or delete them, although blocking cookies may change how some features work.


How Data Is Used

Collected data supports these limited operating purposes:

  • Operate the site and maintain performance
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful
  • Diagnose and correct technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Sites Reached by Links

Links lead to jail rosters, police reports, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy terms govern its collection and use.

Some advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs under the provider's policy, not on this site's systems.


Parties That Receive Data

We do not sell personal data. Information may be processed by:

  • Search partners that handle submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard safeguards suited to a public website. No internet-connected service is fully secure, however, so we cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, or misused.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. Contact us if a minor submitted information so it can be reviewed and deleted.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a visitor may ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of personal data we hold
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Erase eligible personal data
  • Stop certain forms of processing

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised. A new version will appear here with an updated effective date when practices change.
