Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered into a site search tool is sent to the provider that operates that tool. We do not maintain a court-record database or log the name, case number, or other search terms entered through those tools.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor voluntarily sends correspondence, we retain the information needed to read and respond to that communication. We do not sell that correspondence or turn it into a record about another person.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, the site may receive basic technical information needed to deliver pages, measure performance, and investigate faults.
- IP address and approximate technical location
- Browser, device type, and operating system
- Requested pages, referring page, and visit time
- Cookie or similar preference identifiers where enabled
- Aggregate usage and error information
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics may help us understand page performance and general use. Browser controls can limit cookies, although some site functions or partner tools may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
Technical information is used to operate and protect the site, route a search request to the selected provider, understand aggregate page use, troubleshoot errors, and support advertising or referral services that help fund the site.
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not host, compile, sell, or maintain official Chippewa County case histories, calendars, filings, or court files. Michigan Court Rule 8.119 governs public case history, calendar, inspection, and reproduction practices. Michigan Court Rule 1.109 restricts protected personally identifying information in court filings, and Administrative Order 2006-2 addresses public and nonpublic court-record access. The originating court and its clerk control the official file.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside providers operate any search box shown on this site. Their collection, retention, pricing, and disclosure practices are governed by their own policies. Review those policies before providing information to a partner, and confirm any result through the 50th Circuit Court, 91st District Court, Probate Court, Juvenile Court, or the responsible clerk.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to official County, Michigan Courts, MiCOURT Case Search, MiFILE or TrueFiling, and other external sites. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy terms control. Advertising partners may also use their own technology to measure activity on their services.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited technical or voluntarily supplied information may be handled by service providers that support site hosting, analytics, advertising, search tools, or a valid legal process.
How We Protect Your Data
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the limited information associated with site operation. No internet-based system can promise complete security, so visitors should avoid placing unnecessary personal or case-sensitive information into a general web form or third-party tool.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adult users and does not knowingly seek personal information from children. Juvenile, adoption, child-protective, and other restricted case material has separate access protections under Michigan law and court rules.
Your Data Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information held by this private site where applicable. Michigan Freedom of Information Act procedures concern Chippewa County administrative records, not state-court case files. For court material, MCR 8.119, MCR 1.109, AO 2006-2, and the responsible court's access rules control whether a case history or document is public, redacted, restricted, or available for copying.
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy to reflect operational, legal, or service changes. The current version appears on this page when updated.
Effective date: August 27, 2026
