Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box passes to the independent provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Emails and Other Messages
Information sent in an email or contact message is retained as needed to answer. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Information
Like most websites, the service may record routine data when a page loads. That data helps operate and troubleshoot the site.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page, when supplied
- Visit date and time
Cookie Choices
Cookies may help measure how people move through the pages. A browser can block them, though some features may then work differently.
Reasons Data Is Used
Collected data serves limited operational and service purposes.
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send a search request to the selected partner
- Measure which information readers use
- Detect and correct technical faults
- Present advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links can lead to Otsego County release records, Sheriff or MDOC pages, government locators, courts, and outside search services. The destination’s privacy policy applies after a click.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across sites and select ads. That tracking occurs under the partner’s practices, not this notice alone.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold. It may still pass to a service that performs a necessary function or receives a valid legal demand.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that serve ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to protect information in the site’s control. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, and this site cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Use by People Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may request deletion through the Contacts page.
Privacy Choices and Requests
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a person may exercise these choices.
- Ask for a copy of personal data held by the site
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask that eligible data be erased
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as the service or law changes. A new version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective date.
