Information You Provide
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name, location, or other lookup detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms on its server.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond to it, and manage the request. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when a page loads. That information helps diagnose errors, understand basic traffic patterns, and protect the site from misuse.
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is passed by the browser.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to measure site use and support normal website functions. A visitor can block or delete cookies through browser settings, but some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Wayne County jail and record pages visitors use most.
- To find broken links, errors, abuse, and other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to jail rosters, sheriff pages, correctional agency pages, court resources, government portals, and third-party search tools. After a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination website control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show interest-based ads. Those tracking and ad-delivery practices occur on partner systems rather than on a Wayne County government system.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold by this site. It may be available to limited service providers or authorities when needed for the purposes described here.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup terms.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that support site advertising.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand requires it.
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No website, server, email system, or internet connection can be promised to be fully secure, so this notice does not guarantee breach-proof protection.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a deletion request may be sent through the contact path.
Your Data Rights
- Ask for a copy of personal information held by this site.
- Ask that incorrect personal information be corrected.
- Request deletion when the information is no longer needed.
