Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a name or a date of birth goes into one of the search boxes on this site, that entry passes straight to the outside provider that runs the search. The provider processes the query and returns results. We do not keep a log of the terms entered on our end.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us is kept so we can reply to it. Messages stay inside our team, and we do not pass them to anyone outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each time a page loads, our servers record some technical detail about the visit:
- The IP address assigned to the device
- The browser in use and its version
- The operating system and the type of device
- The referrer, meaning the site that sent the visitor here
- Timestamps for each page view
- Which pages were viewed and how long each one stayed open
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files stored on a device that show how visitors move through the pages, including which pages draw the most traffic and where people leave. Analytics services help aggregate that traffic data. Browser settings allow cookies to be blocked at any time, and some parts of the site may behave differently when they are.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site online and loading quickly
- Routing a search request to the correct partner service
- Seeing which pages help readers and which ones need work
- Finding and fixing technical problems
- Showing advertising that may match a visitor's interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, maintain, compile, or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant records. What it publishes is general guidance about where Monroe County warrant records are held and how to check them with the Sheriff's Records Division, the courts that issue warrants, and the Michigan systems that apply. 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
Search boxes on this site are operated by outside companies. Anything typed 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 control them. Review the partner's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Pages here link to sheriff's office sites, court pages, Michigan courts resources, legal aid organizations, and outside search tools. Following any of those links leaves this site, and from that point the destination's privacy policy governs the visit. Read it before sharing personal details.
Some advertising partners may track activity across sites to deliver targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not on ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information can still reach other parties:
- Analytics services used to track traffic and site performance
- Search partners that handle a query submitted here
- Ad networks that place advertising on these pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices for the information this site collects. No internet service can promise perfect protection, so we work to keep the data safe without guaranteeing 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 a minor has shared information with us, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Because this is a private website rather than a government office, requests about visitor data are handled under this policy. Michigan's Freedom of Information Act, the law at MCL 15.231 to 15.246, applies to requests made to the county agencies described on this site, not to us. On our own systems, a visitor can ask us to:
- Provide a copy of what we hold about them
- Correct information that is wrong
- Delete their data
- Stop certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This privacy 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.
Effective date: September 11, 2026
