Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, place, or similar term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the independent provider that operates that tool. Ontonagon County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send a message, we retain the information needed to respond and manage that exchange. We do not share message content outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information and Cookies
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical information when a page loads. This data helps operate and secure the service.
- IP address
- browser type and version
- device type and operating system
- pages visited and time spent on them
- referring website, if one is supplied
- visit timestamps
Cookie settings
Cookies may be used to understand site use and support features. A browser can block or clear cookies, though some functions may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
We use the information described above for ordinary site operation and improvement.
- maintaining site performance and availability
- sending search requests to the appropriate partner service
- understanding which pages readers use
- identifying and correcting technical problems
- displaying advertising that may be interest-based
External Websites and Advertising
The site links to Sheriff, court, corrections, government, and independent search resources. Once you follow a link, that organization’s privacy policy and practices control the information it receives.
Some advertising partners may track activity across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Their tracking is governed by their policies, not this notice.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal data. Information may be available to the following parties when needed for the stated purpose:
- search partners that process a submitted query
- analytics providers
- advertising networks
- law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information under our control. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure, and we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, a request for deletion may be sent through the site’s Contacts page.
Choices About Your Data
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, you may ask about information we hold and the processing of that information.
- request a copy of information held about you
- ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- request deletion where appropriate
- opt out of certain processing where that option applies
These choices apply to information controlled by this private site. A request for a government-held booking or court record follows the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq., and must go to the public body that maintains it.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as site practices change. The current version will be posted here with an updated effective date.
