Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Lapeer County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy controls its handling of the query.
Emails and Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected
Routine technical information may be recorded when a page loads. It helps operate the site and understand basic traffic patterns. This information can include:
- Your internet protocol address
- The 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
Cookie Controls
Cookies help show how visitors use the site. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings, although some functions may work differently after they are disabled.
Reasons Data Is Used
Collected data is used only for site operations, partner routing, analysis, troubleshooting, and advertising. The main purposes are to:
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send a search request to the selected partner
- Measure which pages visitors find useful
- Detect and repair technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect interests
Privacy on Linked Services
Links may lead to Lapeer County release-record pages, sheriff or corrections sites, government portals, and outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination’s privacy policy governs its collection and use of information.
Some advertising partners may track activity across websites to select ads. That tracking takes place through their systems rather than this site’s own records.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may still reach limited service providers or public authorities in these circumstances:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks serving site ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Has Practical Limits
We use standard safeguards appropriate to a public website. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access or a data breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor submitted information so it can be reviewed and deleted.

Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask us to take the following actions concerning information held directly by this site:
