Information You Send
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, or other query into a search box powered by a partner, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or other message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, reply, and handle the issue raised. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for it.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical data when a page loads. That data helps with security, performance, analytics, and troubleshooting.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, if one is passed to us.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use and support advertising or analytics. You can block cookies in your browser, but some parts of the site or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep pages loading and available.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Alcona County inmate record pages are useful.
- To find errors, broken links, and security issues.
- To display ads that may reflect general visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail roster tools, court portals, MDOC OTIS, FOIA resources, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and other outside websites. Once you follow a link, the other site's privacy rules control what happens there.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and display interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on their systems, not as an official Alcona County or Michigan government service.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to service providers or authorities in the situations listed below.
- Search partners that process search queries.
- Analytics vendors used to measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by this site. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed breach proof, so do not send information through this site that you would not want handled by ordinary web and email systems.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent personal information, contact us so the data can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
