Information You Submit
Terms entered in search.
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the search. Calhoun County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own system. The provider’s policy controls its receipt and handling of the submitted query.
Messages sent to us.
An email or contact-form message is retained as needed to read the request and send a reply. It is not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law, legal process, or a valid government order.
Automatic Technical Details
Normal web systems may record limited technical and usage data each time a page loads. This helps operate the service, diagnose faults, and understand traffic patterns. The data can include:
- The connection’s IP address
- 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 for requests
Cookies and browser controls.
Cookies and similar tools may be used to measure how visitors move through the site and to support features. Most browsers allow cookies to be blocked or cleared. Disabling them can cause some functions or preferences to work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used only for ordinary site and service purposes, including:
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending search requests to the selected partner
- Learning which Calhoun County resources visitors use
- Finding errors, abuse, and technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests
Privacy Beyond This Website
Links may lead to the Calhoun County Sheriff jail page, its P2C current-inmate service, the county’s FOIA information, the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS gateway, parole and probation resources, courts, BOP or ICE services, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy notice and terms apply. Michigan FOIA, MCL 15.231 through 15.246, governs qualifying requests for existing public records from covered Michigan public bodies. It does not govern this private website’s privacy practices, and Michigan courts use court rules rather than FOIA.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to understand activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on their systems and is governed by their notices and opt-out processes.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited information may be transmitted or disclosed when needed for the service or required by law. Potential recipients are:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Safeguards and Their Limits
Reasonable, commonly used security measures are applied to information within our control. No website, connected service, or transmission method can be guaranteed fully secure. Calhoun County Released Inmates therefore cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request review and deletion.

Subject to applicable law and the nature of the request, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held by us
