Information You Submit
A name or location entered in a search box goes directly to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
If you send an email or website message, we retain the information needed to answer. It is not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Standard server, analytics, and advertising systems may record technical details when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring website, when available
- Date and time information
Cookies help measure use and support site features. You may block cookies through your browser, although parts of the site may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports the operation and improvement of this reference site:
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending search requests to the selected partner
- Understanding which pages visitors use
- Finding and repairing technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Links and Advertising
The site links to Alpena County JailTracker, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, court resources, and outside search tools. After you leave, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Some advertising partners may measure activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs through their systems, not as an Alpena County government service.
When Data Is Shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may be handled by search partners processing a query, analytics providers, advertising networks, or law-enforcement and government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Has Limits
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to the site. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, so we cannot guarantee that data will never be accessed, lost, or disclosed improperly.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This 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 use the Get in Touch page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request correction, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Rights can vary by location, and outside search or advertising providers must receive requests concerning data on their own systems.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as site practices or legal requirements change. An updated version becomes effective when posted here with its new effective date.
