Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you enter a name or a date of birth in one of the search boxes here, that entry goes to the outside provider that runs the search. The provider processes it and returns whatever it finds. We do not keep or log your search terms on our side.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we hold onto the message so we can write back. Your note stays with our team. We will not pass it to anyone outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each time a page loads, the server records a few technical details about the visit:
- The IP address your device is using
- Your browser and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you opened and the time spent on each
- The site that referred you, when there is one
- A timestamp for every page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files stored on your device. They help us see which pages draw the most visits and where readers tend to leave. Analytics services help us group that traffic data. Your browser settings let you block cookies at any time, though some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site online and loading quickly
- Passing your search request to the right partner service
- Learning which pages help readers and which need work
- Finding and repairing technical problems
- Showing ads that may match your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell any database of warrants or warrant records. We publish general guidance about where Tuscola County warrant records are held and how to check them through the Sheriff's Office, the 54th Circuit Court, the 71B District Court, and the County Clerk. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing we collect about visitors becomes a consumer report or a file about a third party.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes on this site run on outside companies. Whatever you type into one of those tools is handled under that partner's privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners set their own retention and sharing rules, and we do not control them. Read the partner's policy before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
We link to Sheriff's Office pages, court portals, state systems, and outside search tools throughout the site. Selecting one of those links takes you off this site, and the destination's privacy policy takes over at that point. Read it before you share personal details.
Some advertising partners may follow your activity across sites to deliver targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may reach:
- Search partners that handle the queries you run here
- Analytics services that measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place advertising on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard security practices to protect the data we collect. No internet service is bulletproof, though. We take reasonable steps to keep your information safe, and we cannot promise 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 shared data with us, contact us and we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have added rights over your personal information. Michigan law sets rules for how personal data is handled and for requests made to public bodies, including the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq., for county agencies and MCR 8.119 for court records. Those rules apply to public offices rather than to a private site like this one. Where they apply to us, you can:
- Ask for a copy of what we hold about you
- Have incorrect information corrected
- Request that your data be erased
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this privacy policy in the future. When we do, the new version appears on this page with a fresh effective date. Come back if you want to follow how we handle visitor information.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
