Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a partner search tool is sent to the provider operating that tool for processing and results. Ogemaw County Court Docket does not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When a visitor sends an email, the message and contact information may be retained to respond or maintain the correspondence. It is not disclosed outside the organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most web services, the site may receive technical information generated when a page is requested:
- IP address and basic connection information
- Browser, operating-system, and device details
- Pages requested and approximate use patterns
- Referral information when it is supplied
- Dates and times associated with requests
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics services may be used to understand aggregated traffic, performance, and navigation. Browser settings can limit cookies, although some features may respond differently when cookies are blocked.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate, secure, and improve the service
- Route a submitted query to the selected partner tool
- Measure broad traffic and page performance
- Diagnose technical errors
- Support advertising that may be interest based
No Court-Record Data on File
Ogemaw County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case records. It provides general routing information for Michigan court offices and public-search systems. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or records about other people, and the service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate search widgets appearing on the service. Information entered in a widget is governed by that provider’s privacy terms, retention practices, and sharing rules. Review the provider’s policy before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links can lead to court offices, clerk pages, statewide case-search tools, and other independent services. Once a visitor leaves this service, the destination’s privacy policy applies. Review it before supplying personal information.
Some advertising providers may measure activity across services to deliver advertising. Those practices are controlled by the provider, not by Ogemaw County Court Docket.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. It may be shared only with service providers or recipients such as:
- Search providers chosen to process a query
- Analytics vendors used for traffic measurement
- Advertising networks serving advertisements
- Government authorities when disclosure is lawfully required
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect the information handled by the service. No internet transmission or storage system is entirely secure, so absolute security cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If a minor’s information has been submitted, contact the service so the issue can be reviewed and addressed.
Your Data Rights
Michigan court-record access is governed principally by MCR 8.119. For covered county administrative records, Michigan FOIA begins at MCL 15.231 and includes review provisions at MCL 15.240. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request information held about that visitor
- Ask that inaccurate contact information be corrected
- Request deletion where retention is not required
- Limit certain optional processing where available
