Information You Submit
Search Entries
A name, location, or other term entered in a sponsored search box is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy governs its handling of the query and any later account activity.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain what is needed to understand and answer it. We do not disclose that message outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement compels disclosure.
Technical Data Collected
Ordinary server, analytics, and security systems can record details about a visit:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device class and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- The referring page or site, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure use and support site functions. A browser can block or delete them. Some features, including partner tools or saved preferences, may act differently when cookies are refused.
How Information Is Used
Collected data serves limited operational and measurement purposes:
- Operating the site and improving load performance
- Sending a sponsored search to the selected provider
- Learning which Wayne County release pages are useful
- Finding errors, misuse, and technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect interests
Websites Reached by Links
Links lead to WCSO, Wayne County, Michigan corrections, courts, federal locators, and outside search providers. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy terms apply. Review them before submitting personal details.
Advertising providers may measure activity across more than one site to select ads. That tracking occurs through their systems and technologies, not as a Wayne County government activity.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be processed or disclosed in these limited settings:
- Search partners that receive a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure traffic
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to a public website. No internet service, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed secure, and this notice does not promise that a breach is impossible.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Data Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held about them
- Correct personal information that is wrong
- Delete information that no longer needs to be retained
- Opt out of processing where an opt-out right applies
These requests apply to data controlled by this site. A request about a Wayne County, WCSO, court, MDOC, BOP, ICE, or search-partner record must go to that record holder.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as services, vendors, or legal requirements change. The updated wording and effective date will be posted on this page.
