Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Names, dates of birth, or other terms you type into a search box on this site are sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and returns results. We do not keep or log what you typed on our side.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we retain the message so we can respond. It stays with our team. We do not share it outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each time a page loads, our servers record technical details about the visit:
- The IP address your device is using
- Your browser and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- Which pages you viewed and how long each one stayed open
- The referring site, when there is one
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files stored on your device. They help us see how visitors move through the site, which pages get used, and where people leave. Analytics providers aggregate that traffic data for us. You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time, and some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site available and loading quickly
- Routing your search requests to the partner service that handles them
- Learning which pages help readers and which need work
- Finding and fixing technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may relate to your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell databases of warrants or personal warrant records. What it publishes is general guidance about where Kalamazoo County warrant records are held and how to check them: through the 8th District and 9th Circuit courts, the sheriff's Records Section, and the state systems that carry an official but restricted role. 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 belong to outside companies. Anything you enter into one is handled under that company's privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners decide how long they keep data and with whom they share it, and we have no control over either choice. Read the partner's policy before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to court pages, sheriff's office pages, state agencies, legal aid organizations, and third-party search tools. Following any of those links takes you off this site, and from that point the destination's privacy policy applies. Read it before you share personal details.
Some advertising partners may track activity across sites to deliver targeted advertising. That tracking runs on their systems rather than ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information can reach:
- Search partners that process queries submitted here
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that serve ads on these pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard security practices to protect the data we collect. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, so we work to reduce risk without promising 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 you believe a minor has sent us data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Your Data Rights
Michigan law and federal law may give you rights over information a website holds about you, and the Michigan Freedom of Information Act gives the public a separate right of access to records held by government agencies such as the county courts and the sheriff's office. That public-records right applies to agencies rather than to this site. For data we hold, you can:
- Ask what we have on file about you
- Have incorrect information corrected
- Request that your data be erased
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as the site changes. When it does, the revised version will appear on this page with a new effective date, and the date is the signal that something has been updated.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
