Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
The site’s content does not require an account or a direct court-record submission. If a visitor uses a third-party search feature, that provider may receive the search terms entered into its own tool under its own privacy policy. Do not enter Social Security numbers, driver-license numbers, live ticket details, financial account information, juvenile information, or other protected personal data into a public search field.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends a message through a channel made available by this site, the message and contact details supplied may be retained long enough to respond, manage the request, or meet legal obligations. Do not send a case file, confidential document, or material intended for an Ingham County court clerk through a private-site contact channel.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like many websites, this site and its service providers may receive technical data such as browser type, device information, IP address, referring page, pages viewed, timestamps, and general diagnostic information. That information helps operate, secure, measure, and improve the site. It is not used to create an official Ingham County court record.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies or similar technologies may support basic site functions, analytics, advertising, and third-party search services. Browser settings can limit some cookies, although doing so can affect features supplied by other providers. Their practices are controlled by their own notices.
What We Do With This Data
Information collected through site use may be used to operate pages, prevent abuse, understand aggregate traffic, answer an inquiry, maintain security, and comply with applicable obligations. The site does not use browsing or search data to make a decision about a person’s credit, employment, housing, insurance, or eligibility for a consumer transaction.
No Court-Record Data on File
This site is not the custodian of an Ingham County docket or case file. It does not maintain the official register of actions, original pleadings, certified copies, or clerk payment records. Official Michigan court access is governed by court rules and local access policies, including MCR 8.119, rather than this policy.
Third-Party Search Partners
Sponsored search tools and outbound services are operated separately. A provider may collect information, charge a fee, or use cookies under terms that differ from this site’s practices. Review the provider’s current notice before submitting a query or payment. A third-party result is informational and is not a clerk-certified court record.
Links to Other Websites
Links to Ingham County, Michigan Courts, MiCOURT, ePAY, and city court resources are offered for reference. Their sites have their own privacy and security practices. This site does not control their pages, availability, forms, or retention choices.
Who Might See Your Data
Access may be provided to service providers that host, secure, analyze, or support this site, and to authorities where disclosure is legally required or needed to protect rights and safety. Information may also be disclosed in connection with a business transfer. It is not sold as a court-record database or supplied for FCRA-regulated decisions.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information within this site’s control. No online transmission or storage method is completely secure. For an official filing, a protected record, or a certified-copy request, use the court or clerk’s published route rather than emailing sensitive material to a private reference site.
Users Under 18
The site is not directed to children. Do not submit information about minors, wards, juvenile cases, or child-protective matters through it. Michigan law and court rules can restrict those records even when an online search tool is available for other case categories.
Your Data Rights
Depending on location and applicable law, a visitor may ask about information directly provided to this site, request correction, or request deletion where required. Such a request cannot change an Ingham County court record and cannot override the court’s retention, access, or certification rules. Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act applies to qualifying public bodies and administrative records; it is not a shortcut to court case files under MCR 8.119.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as site practices, technology, or legal requirements change. The current version applies when posted. Court-record and privacy rules should always be verified with the originating court, clerk, statute, or local access order.
