Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information may be collected when someone uses the Wayne County records guide, why it is used, and when a service provider or authority may receive it. Continued use means acceptance of these practices.

Information You Choose to Send

Search Terms

A name, location, or other term entered in a search box goes to the outside provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those query terms on our own systems. The provider's privacy terms control its handling.

Messages

We keep an email or contact submission long enough to review and answer it. We do not disclose that correspondence outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Normal logs and analytics may record these details when a page loads:

  • The request's IP address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent.
  • The referring site, when supplied.
  • Date and time information.

Cookies

Cookies help measure site use and support some features. Browser controls can block or clear them, though search, preference, analytics, or advertising functions may then behave differently.


Reasons We Use Information

  • Operate the pages and maintain performance.
  • Route a query to the chosen search partner.
  • Learn which resources visitors use.
  • Find and repair technical problems.
  • Display ads that may reflect visitor interests.

Privacy on Linked Websites

Links lead to jail rosters, booking reports, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party tools. The destination's own privacy policy applies after a visitor leaves this site.

Advertising partners may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure activity across sites and select ads. That processing takes place on their systems.


When Information May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach:

  • Search partners processing queries.
  • Analytics providers measuring use.
  • Advertising networks serving ads.
  • Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.

Security Has Practical Limits

We use ordinary safeguards appropriate for a public website. No connected service, transmission method, or storage system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.


This Guide Is for Adults

The site is intended for users age 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect a minor's personal information. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may ask through Contact Us for its deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Request a copy of personal data we hold.
  • Ask to correct inaccurate information.
  • Request erasure when applicable law permits.
  • Opt out of certain processing when that right applies.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice as practices, providers, or legal requirements change. A new version takes effect when posted here with an updated effective date.
