Information You Submit
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. Each provider applies its own privacy terms.
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the message and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Automatic Technical Details
Standard web systems may record technical information when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject or delete cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
- Send search requests to the selected partner service.
- Measure which pages visitors find useful.
- Diagnose errors and other technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Links and Advertising
Links may lead to Baraga County offices, jail and court resources, Michigan corrections pages, government portals, or private search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not as a Baraga County government service. Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq., governs qualifying requests to public bodies; it does not turn messages sent to this private site into county FOIA requests.
Parties Receiving Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by:
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Analytics providers measuring use
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to a public website. No internet service, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal data may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, a visitor may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. Requests may be sent through Contact Us. These choices concern this private site, not records held by the Baraga County Sheriff, courts, MDOC, or another agency.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as technology, vendors, or practices change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with an updated effective date.
