Information You Choose to Send
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Livingston County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider may process the query under its own policy and terms.
If you send an email or other direct message, the contact details and message content are retained as needed to respond. Those communications are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Normal web operations can create technical records when a page loads. Those records help deliver the requested page, measure use, and diagnose faults. They may include:
- The connecting internet protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring page or site, when supplied.
- Date and time information for the request.
Cookies may be used to understand site use and support page functions. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though some features may then work differently.
How Information Supports Operations
Collected information is used for ordinary site operations and improvement. Typical uses include:
- Keeping pages available, stable, and responsive.
- Sending a search request to the correct partner tool.
- Learning which Livingston County resources visitors find useful.
- Finding errors, abuse, performance problems, and security issues.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Government and Outside Links
Links may lead to Livingston County offices, MDOC, courts, federal locators, release-record sources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's own privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may use their systems to recognize activity across more than one website for interest-based advertising. That processing is performed by those providers, not by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
Livingston County Released Inmates does not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by limited parties that help provide or protect the service:
- Search partners that receive a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver advertisements.
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Data Safeguards
Standard administrative and technical precautions are used to protect information under this site's control. No internet service, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure. A breach-proof guarantee cannot be made.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held by this site.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Delete information that no longer must be retained.
- Opt out of certain processing where that choice applies.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date, and the posted text will govern later visits.
