Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or a date of birth into a search box on this site, that entry goes straight to the outside provider that runs the search. The provider processes the query and returns the results. We do not log or store the terms you type.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we keep the message so we can write back. Your message stays with our team, and we will not pass it to anyone outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each time a page here loads, our servers record some technical details about the visit:
- The pages you opened and how long each one stayed on screen
- The browser you used and its version
- The IP address attached to your device
- The device type and operating system
- Timestamps for every page view
- The site that sent you here, when there is one
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files a site stores on your device. We use them to see how visitors move through the pages, which topics draw the most readers, and where people tend to leave. Analytics services help us pull that traffic data together. You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing your search requests to the right partner service
- Keeping the site running and loading quickly
- Finding and fixing technical problems
- Learning which pages help readers and which need work
- Showing advertising that may match your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant information. We publish general guidance about where Huron County warrant records are held and how to ask about them through the courts and the Sheriff's Office. Court files in Michigan follow MCR 8.119, and records held by a county office follow the state's freedom of information law, MCL 15.231 and following. Neither rule applies to us, because we hold no warrant records at all.
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing we collect about visitors is assembled into a consumer report or a file about any third party.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes on this site belong to outside companies. Whatever you type into one is handled under that partner's privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners decide how long they keep data and who else sees it, and we have no control over their rules. Read the partner's policy before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to court pages, sheriff's office material, state agencies, and outside search services. Following one of those links takes you off this site, and the destination's privacy policy takes over from there. Read it before you share personal details.
Some advertising partners track activity across websites to target the ads they show. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information can reach:
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Search partners that run the queries you submit
- Ad networks that place advertising on our pages
- Courts, law enforcement, or other government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard security practices to protect the data we collect. No website connected to the internet is unbreakable, and we cannot promise that a breach will never happen. We do take reasonable steps to keep your information secure.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us data, contact us and we will remove it promptly.
Your Data Rights
Michigan's freedom of information law, the Freedom of Information Act at MCL 15.231 and following, governs requests made to public bodies for public records and sets the timeline those offices follow. It does not apply to a private website, so the rights below are the ones we honor on our own:
- Ask for a copy of what we hold about you
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong
- Ask us to delete your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Send any of those requests through the contact page, and we will respond within a reasonable time.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change over time. When it does, the new version appears on this page with a fresh effective date, and continuing to use the site means you accept the update.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
