Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a name or date of birth goes into a search box on this site, that input travels straight to the outside provider running the search. The provider processes the query and returns a result. We do not log or keep the terms you type on our side.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we keep the message long enough to answer it. It stays with our team, and we do not pass it to anyone outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each time a page here loads, our servers record some 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 opened and how long each one stayed on screen
- The site that pointed you here, when there was one
- A timestamp for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files saved on your device. They let us see how visitors move through the pages, including which pages draw the most traffic and where people leave. Analytics services help us summarize that data. You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time, though a few parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keep the site online and loading quickly
- Pass your search request to the right partner service
- Learn which pages readers find useful and which need work
- Find and repair technical problems
- Serve advertising that may match your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, build, collect, or sell databases of warrants or personal court records. It publishes general guidance about where Newaygo County warrant records sit and how to check them through the 78th District Court, the 27th Circuit Court, the Sheriff, and the public case search. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing gathered from visitors is turned into a consumer report or a file about a third party.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes on this site belong to outside companies. Anything typed into one of those tools is handled under that partner's privacy policy rather than this one. Those companies decide how long they keep data and who they share it with, and we have no control over either choice. Read the partner's policy before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
Pages here link out to court pages, Sheriff pages, the public case search, state agencies, legal aid organizations, and third-party search tools. Following any of those links takes you away from this site, and the destination's privacy policy then governs your visit. Read it before you share personal details.
Some advertising partners track activity across websites in order to show targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems rather than ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. A few categories of information may reach other parties:
- Search partners that handle the queries you run here
- Analytics services that measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place advertising on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies, when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to protect the information we collect. No system connected to the internet is perfect, so we work to keep your data safe without promising that a breach can never happen.
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 data to us, tell us and we will remove it promptly.
Your Data Rights
Michigan does not have a single comprehensive consumer privacy statute, and the state's records law, the Freedom of Information Act, governs access to records held by government offices rather than by a private site like this one. Depending on where you live, other state or federal law may give you rights over data a website holds about you. At a minimum, you can ask us to:
- Provide a copy of what we hold about you
- Correct information that is wrong
- Delete your data
- Stop certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy over time. When that happens, the new version appears on this page with a fresh effective date. Check back if you want to follow how the site handles visitor information.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
