Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit to Huron County Criminal History, the purposes for which it is used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. By continuing to use the website, you accept these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate log or copy of those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

When you email us, the message is retained so our team can respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our servers receive routine technical details whenever a page loads:

  • Page-view dates and times
  • Referring website, when one is supplied
  • Pages viewed and the length of each visit
  • Device type and operating system
  • Browser name and version
  • The device’s IP address

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files placed on a device to help measure traffic patterns, including popular pages and exit points. Analytics providers combine that activity into site-use reports. You may block cookies through the browser, although doing so can change how some functions behave.

What We Do With This Data

  • Diagnosing faults and other technical problems
  • Maintaining site speed and availability
  • Routing queries to the selected search partner
  • Measuring which pages visitors use
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not build, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site explains how to reach Huron County courts, the Sheriff’s Records Office, Michigan State Police, and the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not turned into a third-party record or consumer report, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies power the search boxes. Their privacy terms govern anything submitted through those tools, and each partner controls its own retention and disclosure practices. Review the provider’s policy before running a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Huron County offices, Michigan portals, legal resources, and outside search services. Once you leave this website, the destination’s privacy policy controls. Read it before providing personal information.

Advertising companies may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted ads. We do not operate that tracking.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. It may be available in limited form to:

  • Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
  • Search providers processing a query you choose to submit
  • Advertising networks serving content on the pages
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect the data we collect. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.

Users Under 18

The site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will delete it.

Your Data Rights

Michigan consumer protections, including the Michigan Consumer Protection Act, MCL 445.901 et seq., may apply depending on the facts and your location. Michigan FOIA, MCL 15.231 et seq., governs records held by public bodies, while criminal-history dissemination is addressed by MCL 28.241a and MCL 28.243. Those public-record laws do not make this private site a government custodian. Subject to applicable law, you may:

  • Opt out of certain forms of processing
  • Request deletion of data associated with you
  • Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
  • Request a copy of information we hold about you

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. Any revision will appear here with a new effective date, so visitors should check the page periodically for changes.

Effective date: July 27, 2026
