Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or date of birth that you type into a search box on this site passes directly to the outside provider that runs that search tool. The provider processes the entry and returns the result. We do not log or keep the terms you enter.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email this site, we retain the message so we can answer it. The message stays with our team, and we do not pass it to anyone outside the organization unless the law compels it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Technical details about a visit reach our servers whenever a page loads, including these items:
- The browser you use and its version
- The IP address your device is assigned
- The pages you opened and the time spent on each
- Your device type and operating system
- Time stamps for each page view
- The referring site, when one sent you here
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files placed on your device. They show us which pages draw traffic and where readers leave. Analytics services compile that information in aggregate. You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time, and some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
Data reaches us for a handful of ordinary reasons:
- Routing your search request to the correct partner service
- Keeping pages loading quickly and staying online
- Finding and repairing technical problems
- Learning which pages readers find useful and which need work
- Displaying advertising that may relate to your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not compile, host, maintain, or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant records. We publish guidance about where Wayne County warrant records sit and how to request them from the district courts, the Third Judicial Circuit, the Wayne County Clerk Records Division, and the Sheriff's Office. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing collected about visitors is assembled into consumer reports or files about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies supply the search boxes on this site. Whatever you enter into one of those tools is handled under that partner's own privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners set their own retention and sharing rules, and we do not direct them. Read the partner's policy before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to court pages, Sheriff's Office pages, Michigan court resources, legal aid organizations, and outside search tools. Following any of those links moves you onto a site we do not control, where a different privacy policy applies. Read that policy before you share personal details.
Some advertising partners may follow your activity across websites to target ads. That tracking runs on their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information can reach:
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Search partners that handle the queries you run here
- Ad networks that serve advertising on our pages
- A court or government body when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We apply standard security practices to the data we hold. No internet service can promise perfect protection, so we work to reduce risk without claiming that a breach is impossible.
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 data, contact us and we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Michigan gives residents a statutory route to records that a public body holds through the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, 1976 PA 442, MCL 15.231 to MCL 15.246. That law reaches government agencies, not a privately run website, so it does not apply to this site. With respect to what we hold, you can:
- Ask what information we have about you
- Request that we erase your data
- Have inaccurate information corrected
- Object to certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change over time. When it does, the revised version appears on this page with a new effective date, so check back to see how we handle visitor information.
