Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Anything typed into a search box on this site is passed straight to the outside provider that runs that search tool. The provider processes the query and returns the results. We do not keep or log the terms you search with.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you write to us, we keep that message so we can answer it. It stays with our team, and we do not pass it to anyone outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers record basic technical details when a page loads. These are the usual items any website collects:
- The IP address of the device you are using
- Your browser type and version
- Your operating system and device category
- Which pages you opened and how long each one stayed on screen
- The referring site, when one sent you here
- Time stamps for page views
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files your browser stores. They help us see how visitors move through the site, including which pages get the most attention and where people stop reading. Analytics services help us combine that information into traffic reports. You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time, and some parts of the site may work differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keep the site running, online, and loading quickly
- Pass your search request to the appropriate partner service
- See which pages are useful and which need a rewrite
- Find and fix technical problems
- Display advertising that may relate to your interests
No Warrant Data on File
We do not host, compile, maintain, or sell databases of warrants or personal case information. What we publish is general guidance about where Marquette County records sit and how to check them through the 96th District Court, the 25th Circuit Court, and the sheriff's office. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing we collect about visitors is assembled into consumer reports or files about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes on this site are operated by outside companies. Whatever you enter into one of those tools is handled under that company's privacy policy rather than this one. Those providers decide how long they keep data and how they share it, and we have no control over either. Read the provider's policy before running a search.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to court portals, sheriff's office pages, Michigan statutes, legal aid organizations, and partner search tools. Following any of those links takes you away from this site, and the destination's privacy policy governs what happens next. Read it before you share personal details.
Some advertising partners may track activity across websites to target ads. That tracking runs on their systems rather than ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Some data may reach the following parties:
- Search partners that process queries submitted on this site
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that place ads on these pages
- Government or law enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard security practices to protect the information we hold. No internet service can promise perfect safety, and we will not claim otherwise. We take reasonable steps, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
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 information, contact us and we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Michigan consumer protection law, including the Michigan Consumer Protection Act at MCL 445.901 et seq., may give you rights over information a business holds about you. In addition, you can ask us to:
- Provide a copy of what we hold about you
- Correct information that is wrong
- Delete your information
- Stop certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy as the site changes. When that happens, the new version appears on this page with a fresh effective date, and the date below always reflects the current version.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
