Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit, why it may be used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. By continuing to use the website, you acknowledge these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its response. We do not retain a separate log of the terms typed into those boxes.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email or other direct message may be kept long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.

Data We Gather Automatically

Standard technical details can be recorded when a page loads, including:

  • Page-view dates and times
  • Referring pages or websites, when supplied
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Visited pages and approximate time spent
  • The device's assigned IP address

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files saved on a device. They and analytics services help combine traffic data, such as which pages are used often and where visits end. A browser can reject or remove cookies, although doing so may change how some functions behave.

What We Do With This Data

  • Routing a query to the selected search provider
  • Finding and repairing performance or technical faults
  • Understanding which resources visitors use
  • Operating, securing, and improving page delivery
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect inferred interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not keep, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Presque Isle County guidance points readers to the Sheriff, 89th District Court, 53rd Circuit Court, Michigan State Police CJIC, and Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information 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 operate the embedded search tools. Their own privacy notices govern information submitted through those tools, along with their retention and disclosure choices. We do not control those practices. Review the provider's policy before sending a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Presque Isle County offices, Michigan agencies, courts, legal resources, or independent search services. Once a visitor follows an outside link, the destination's privacy terms control that visit. Review them before supplying personal information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to observe activity across websites and select ads. Their technology and policies govern that tracking.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be disclosed to:

  • Advertising networks that serve material on the pages
  • Analytics providers that measure use and performance
  • Search providers handling a visitor's submitted query
  • A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal demand

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for collected information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access or another incident will never occur.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone younger than 18. A report that a minor supplied information will be reviewed so the material can be removed where appropriate.

Your Data Rights

Rights may vary by residence and may be affected by the Michigan Consumer Protection Act, MCL 445.901 et seq. A visitor may ask to:

  • Opt out of certain processing where applicable
  • Request deletion of personal information
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Receive a copy of personal data we maintain

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A replacement version will appear here with its effective date, and continued use will be subject to that version.

Effective date: July 28, 2026
