Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or a date of birth into one of the search boxes on this site, that input goes straight to the outside provider running the search. The provider processes it and returns results. We do not store or log the terms you enter.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we keep the message so we can reply. Your message stays with our team, and we will not share it outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each time a page on this site loads, our servers record some technical details about the visit:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- The browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you viewed and how long each one stayed open
- The site that referred you here, if any
- A timestamp for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies, which are small files stored on your device. They show us how visitors move through the site, including which pages draw the most traffic and where people stop reading. Analytics services help us group that traffic data. Your browser settings let you block cookies at any time, though some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site online, stable, and quick to load
- Passing your search requests to the right partner service
- Learning which pages readers find useful and which need work
- Finding and fixing technical problems
- Showing advertising that may match your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, keep, build, or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant information. We publish general guidance about where Gogebic County warrant records are held and how they are checked through the courts, the county sheriff, and the state case search. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing we collect about visitors is assembled into consumer reports or files about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes on this site are powered by outside companies. Anything you enter into one of those tools is processed under that partner's privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners set their own retention and sharing practices, and we do not control them. Read the partner's policy before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
We link to sheriff's office pages, Michigan court portals, the state case search, the state traffic portal, and outside search tools. Following one of those links takes you off this site, and the other site's privacy policy then governs your visit. Read it before you share any personal details.
Some advertising partners may track activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may reach:
- Search partners that handle queries you run from this site
- Analytics services we use to measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place advertising on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to protect the data we collect. Nothing connected to the internet is guaranteed safe, though. We take reasonable steps to keep your information secure, and we cannot promise that a breach will never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has shared data with us, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Privacy rights vary by state, and Michigan's own records-access law is the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, which applies to records held by public bodies rather than to a private site like this one. Where state law gives you rights over data a private site holds, you can ask us to:
- Provide a copy of what we hold about you
- Correct information that is wrong
- Delete your data
- Stop certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this privacy policy as the site changes. When we do, the new version appears on this page with a revised effective date. Check back if you want to track how visitor information is handled.
Effective date: September 11, 2026
