Information You Choose to Send
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party company that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy controls its handling of the query.
If you send an email or contact message, we may keep the details needed to read and answer it. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal order.
Technical Data and Cookies
Routine service and analytics records may be created when a page loads. Those records can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device class and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support basic features. You can block or remove cookies through your browser, although some functions may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used only for ordinary site operations and service improvement. Typical uses include:
- Keeping pages available, stable, and responsive.
- Sending a search request to the selected outside provider.
- Understanding which Livingston County resource pages help visitors.
- Finding errors, abuse, and technical problems.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests.
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, jail information, county FOIA portal, Michigan VINE, MDOC OTIS, courts, federal locators, and private search services. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy governs its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may use their own technologies to measure activity across websites or select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through their systems and is subject to their controls.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may still pass to a limited group when needed to provide or protect the service:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal demand.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used to reduce unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No website, network, transmission, or storage method is completely secure, so this site cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held about you.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Delete personal data where deletion is permitted.
- Opt out of certain processing where that right applies.
A request about a Livingston County government record must go to the agency holding it. This private site cannot alter a sheriff, jail, court, VINE, or MDOC record.

This privacy notice may be revised as services or legal duties change. An updated version takes effect when posted here with a new effective date.
