Information You Submit
Search terms
A name, place, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy governs its handling of the query.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share a message outside the organization unless required by law or a valid legal order.
Automatic Technical Data
Standard logs and measurement services may collect technical details when a page loads, including:
- IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page, when available
- Date and time of access
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support advertising. You can block or delete cookies through your browser, although some features may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected data supports limited operational purposes:
- Operating and improving site speed
- Sending search requests to the selected partner
- Learning which pages visitors find useful
- Finding errors and security problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect interests
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to Cass County offices, MI-VINE, Michigan courts, the Michigan Department of Corrections, federal locators, news sources, or private search services. Once you leave, the destination’s privacy terms apply. Advertising partners may measure activity across sites for interest-based ads using their own systems, not records stored by this site.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by search partners that process a query, analytics providers, advertising networks, and law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used. No website, network, or storage method can be promised as completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, you may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request a correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. These rights apply to data controlled by this site. Michigan public records held by Cass County are governed by the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, MCL 15.231 et seq., and requests concerning those records must go to the government custodian.
