Information You Choose to Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar query into a search tool, that request may be sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical information when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site usage and support basic website functions. You can block cookies through your browser settings, although some features may act differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Ontonagon County custody and records pages visitors use most.
- To identify errors, broken links, or technical problems.
- To support advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff, court, corrections, public-records, VINE, BOP, ICE, and third-party search resources. Once you follow an outside link, that website's privacy policy and terms control how your data is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or deliver interest-based ads. Those activities occur through the partner's technology, not through an official Ontonagon County system.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information as a list of site visitors. Information may still be handled by service providers or disclosed when legally required.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance and usage.
- Advertising networks that help support the site.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards for a public website, but no internet-connected service can be promised to be fully secure or free from unauthorized access.
