Information You Provide
Search Entries
When you type a name, location, or other term into a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider operating the tool. Delta County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own site logs as an official jail or court record.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to review and answer it. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law, court order, subpoena, or another valid legal process.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, this site may collect technical details when pages load. That information helps operate the site and understand how visitors use public-record reference pages.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to measure site use, remember basic preferences, support ads, and diagnose performance issues. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, but some features or partner tools may behave differently if cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the website available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service when a search tool is used.
- To understand which Delta County inmate and record pages are useful.
- To find technical errors, security problems, and broken links.
- To display advertising that may be based on general browsing activity or interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, the Delta County FOIA process, Michigan FOIA material such as MCL 15.231, court portals, corrections locators, and third-party search providers. After you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination site control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ad performance or show interest-based ads across websites. That tracking is handled on their systems, not as an official record of Delta County jail, court, or FOIA activity.
Limited Sharing
We do not sell personal data. Information may be available to the following parties when needed for site operation, compliance, or legal process.
- Search partners that process queries entered into their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect website data from misuse, loss, and unauthorized access. No internet-connected site can be promised breach-proof, and no transmission method is guaranteed to be fully secure.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so the request can be reviewed and the information can be removed when appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we maintain about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
- Ask for deletion of information when retention is not required.
- Opt out of certain uses where the law gives that choice.
Policy Updates
This Privacy Policy may be revised from time to time. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date when changes are made.
