Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Search text entered into a third-party search widget is processed under that provider's practices. Monroe County Court Docket does not represent that it stores the names, case numbers, or results entered in a partner tool.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends an email to a listed site contact, the message and its contact details may be retained to respond or administer the message. Information is not disclosed outside the service except when required by law or needed to operate the service.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most web services, the hosting or analytics systems may receive technical information connected with a visit.
- Internet protocol address and device connection data
- Browser, operating-system, and device information
- Pages requested, referral source, and timestamps
- Approximate performance and error information
- Cookie or comparable identifier data where used
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics can help measure whether pages load and which public-reference topics visitors use. Browser controls may limit cookies, though a connected service may not function the same way after they are blocked.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and contact information may be used only to operate, secure, measure, and improve this reference resource and its connections to outside services.
- Maintain page delivery and diagnose technical faults
- Understand aggregate use of court-reference topics
- Route a search-widget request to its provider
- Respond to a direct message when appropriate
- Support advertising or referral functions that keep the resource available
No Court-Record Data on File
This resource does not host, compile, sell, or maintain a Monroe County court-docket database. Court records remain with the responsible court or clerk. Public access to Michigan court records is governed by MCR 8.119 and local court procedures, not this policy. Michigan FOIA does not make a court case record an ordinary county administrative request.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside providers operate the search widgets that appear on some pages. Their collection, retention, security, and sharing practices are controlled by their own notices. Review a provider's policy before supplying a search term or creating an account.
Links to Other Websites
Links to Monroe County, Michigan Courts, MiCOURT, MiFILE, and other sources leave this resource. The receiving organization controls its site and privacy practices. An official court link should be used for record access, but its data practices are not controlled here.
Advertising or referral partners may use their own technology after a visitor enters their service.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be processed by the service providers that host, measure, secure, advertise on, or operate a linked search tool, and it may be disclosed when a valid legal obligation requires it.
- Hosting and security providers
- Analytics or advertising providers
- A search partner selected by the visitor
- Professional service providers supporting operation
- Government authorities acting under applicable law
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for the limited data this resource handles. No internet system can guarantee complete security, so visitors should avoid sending sensitive court information by ordinary email and should use the responsible clerk's official procedure for a record request.
Users Under 18
This resource is not directed to children. It does not knowingly seek personal information from anyone under 18. A person who believes a minor has submitted information may request review through the contact route.
Your Data Rights
Visitors may ask about a direct message or other personal information held by this resource and may request correction or deletion where applicable. Michigan court-record access and confidentiality are separate matters governed by court rules, including MCR 8.119 and MCR 1.109, rather than a request under this privacy policy.
- Ask whether a direct contact record is retained
- Request correction of inaccurate contact information
- Request deletion of direct-contact information when legally permissible
- Limit optional cookies through browser controls
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised when the service or applicable practices change. The current version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
Effective date: August 27, 2026
