Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query under its own policies. This site does not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to this resource may be retained to respond and administer the communication. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the hosting systems may receive technical information about the visit:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. They and aggregated analytics can indicate which pages are used and where technical problems occur. Browser settings can block cookies, although parts of the site may then perform differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating, securing, and improving the site
- Sending a search request to the selected partner service
- Understanding aggregate use of the resource
- Diagnosing and correcting technical problems
- Delivering advertising that may be relevant to a visitor
No Court-Record Data on File
This site does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a court-docket database or personal case-record information. It publishes routing information for Ionia County Clerk, 64-A District Court, Probate Court, and MiCOURT Case Search. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into reports about third parties.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention practices, and sharing practices apply to material entered into their tools. Review the provider's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
The resource links to clerk pages, court portals, MiCOURT, and other services. A link takes a visitor to another website, where that website's privacy policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.
Some advertising partners may track activity across websites for advertising. That activity occurs in their systems rather than in the official Ionia County court systems.
Who Might See Your Data
This resource does not sell personal information. Information may be received by:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics services that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that place advertisements
- Government bodies when a valid legal process requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable safeguards are used for collected information, but no internet transmission or storage system is guaranteed secure. Absolute protection against an unauthorized event cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact the site if you believe a minor has provided information so the issue can be addressed.
Your Data Rights
Michigan's Freedom of Information Act governs access to many public governmental records, while MCR 8.119 governs public access to court case records. Those rules do not make this private resource a court-record custodian. You may still contact us to:
- Request information about data held in connection with a direct communication
- Ask that inaccurate contact information be corrected
- Request deletion of data that is not required to be retained
- Choose browser or device controls for certain cookies and advertising processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices change. The revised version is posted here with an updated effective date.
