Information You Submit
A name, location, or other query entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those terms on our systems.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain it as needed to answer. We do not share it outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, or advertising systems may record:

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can block cookies, although parts of the experience may then work differently.

Outside Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to the Gladwin County Sheriff, Michigan courts and corrections, MI-VINE, other government portals, or independent search providers. After leaving this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls.
Advertising partners may measure activity across websites for interest-based advertising through their own systems, not ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be handled by search partners processing queries, analytics vendors, advertising networks, or a law-enforcement or government body acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
