Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Anything you type into a search tool on this site, such as a name or a date of birth, goes directly to the outside provider that runs that tool. The provider processes the query and returns the results. We do not keep or log what you enter.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we retain the message so that we can write back. Your note stays with our team, and we do not pass it to anyone outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Technical details about a visit are recorded whenever a page on this site loads:
- The pages you opened and how long each one stayed on screen
- The browser you used and its version
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Your operating system and device type
- The referring site, if one sent you here
- The time and date of each page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, the small files stored on your device that show how visitors move through the pages, including which pages draw the most traffic and where people leave. Analytics services help aggregate that information. You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some parts of the site may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site available and loading quickly
- Routing your search request to the correct partner service
- Seeing which pages help readers and which need work
- Finding and repairing technical problems
- Displaying ads that may reflect your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant information. What it publishes is general guidance about where Manistee County warrant records are held and how to check them through the issuing court, the clerk who keeps the file, and the sheriff's office that serves orders. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing collected from visitors is assembled into a consumer report or a file about a third party.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes on this site. Whatever you type into one of those tools is handled under that company's privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners set their own retention and sharing rules, and we do not control them. Read a partner's policy before you submit a query.
Links to Other Websites
This site links out to court pages, sheriff's office sites, state agencies, legal aid resources, and third-party search tools. Following any of those links takes you away from this site, and the destination's privacy policy governs from that point. Read it before you share personal details.
Some advertising partners may track activity across sites in order to serve targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems rather than ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may reach:
- Search partners that handle the queries you run here
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that serve ads on these pages
- A government body or law enforcement agency when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices for the information we hold. Nothing connected to the internet is completely safe, so we work to protect your data without promising that a breach can never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults, and 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
Michigan law, including the Freedom of Information Act at MCL 15.231 through MCL 15.246, gives the public a route to government-held records, and privacy and consumer-protection rules may give you additional rights over data. Where this site holds information about you, you can normally:
- Request a copy of what we hold
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong
- Ask us to delete your data
- Object to certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change. When it does, the revised version appears on this page with a new effective date, so check back if you want to follow how your information is handled.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
