Purposes for Using Data
Collected information supports ordinary site operations and helps identify what needs attention.

Links and Advertising Systems
Links may lead to Ogemaw County Corrections, the county records portal, Michigan OTIS, or independent search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy terms govern the visit.
Some advertising partners may measure activity across more than one website to select ads. That tracking occurs on the partner's systems, subject to the partner's controls and policy.
Parties Receiving Information
Personal data is not sold. Depending on how a visitor uses the site, limited information may go to:
- A search partner that processes a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure visits
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to protect information under the site's control. No internet connection, storage system, or transmission method is fully secure, so the site cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion.
Choices About Personal Data
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held by the site
- Correct inaccurate submitted information
- Delete personal data where the law allows
- Opt out of processing for which an opt-out right applies
