Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Information entered into a search tool is submitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and returns any result through its own service. This resource does not maintain an independent log of the names or case numbers entered into those tools.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends an email, the message may be retained to respond and administer the communication. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, this resource receives technical information associated with a page visit:
- IP address
- Browser and browser version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time on each page
- Referring site, when supplied
- Page-view timestamps
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics services may be used to understand traffic patterns, site performance, and how visitors move through the resource. A browser can be configured to refuse cookies, though some functions may behave differently. Aggregate analytics help maintain the site but do not turn visitor activity into a court-record database.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and communication information may be used to operate and improve the resource, including:
- Maintaining availability and performance
- Routing a search request to the selected outside service
- Reviewing page usefulness and traffic patterns
- Diagnosing technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may be relevant to a visitor
No Court-Record Data on File
This resource does not host, compile, sell, or maintain a database of Midland County court dockets or personal case files. It provides general routing information for records held by the 42nd Circuit Court Clerk, the 75th District Court Clerk, the Probate Court/Register, and MiCOURT Case Search. Michigan court records are governed by court rules, including MCR 8.119, rather than by an independent database on this resource.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes that appear on certain pages. Information submitted to one of those tools is governed by that company’s privacy policy, retention practices, and service terms. This resource does not control those practices, so visitors should review the provider’s policy before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to county court pages, MiCOURT, Michigan judiciary material, court-clerk routes, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this resource, the receiving site’s privacy policy applies. That site controls how it handles any information a visitor supplies.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites. Such activity occurs within the provider’s systems rather than within a Midland County court record held by this resource.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited information can be processed by the following categories of recipients:
- Search providers that process a visitor’s query
- Analytics providers used for traffic and performance measurement
- Advertising networks that serve advertisements
- Public authorities when a valid legal requirement applies
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by this resource. No online system can guarantee complete security, however, and use of the internet carries inherent risk. Visitors should avoid including unnecessary protected personal information in a search or message.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If personal information from a minor is believed to have been submitted, contact the site operator so the matter can be reviewed and addressed.
Your Data Rights
Michigan’s court-record access framework, including MCR 8.119 and related Michigan court privacy rules, governs access to judicial case records. It does not give this private resource control over a court file. For information held by this resource, a visitor may request a copy of available data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion where appropriate, or an explanation of certain processing practices.
- Request a copy of available personal information
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request deletion of data where appropriate
- Ask about certain data-processing practices
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as the resource, outside services, or legal requirements change. An updated policy will be posted here with a revised effective date.
Effective date: 2026-08-27
