Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files that websites may store in a visitor’s browser. Depending on the website configuration, cookies or similar technologies may support basic functions, remember preferences, measure website activity, or help maintain security. We do not claim that every type of cookie is active on this website. Cookie use depends on the technologies installed on the website.

Third-Party Services

Our website may rely on third-party providers for hosting, website maintenance, security, analytics, or other technical functions, depending on the services configured. These providers may process certain technical information as part of their work. Their handling of information is subject to their own policies and applicable terms. We do not control the privacy practices of external providers. Visitors should review the relevant third-party privacy notices when appropriate.

Once you leave our website, we cannot control how another website collects or uses information. We encourage visitors to review the privacy policy of any external website before sharing personal details.

Public Information and Website Content

This website publishes informational content about Macomb County, Michigan, and related public-information subjects. Information discussed on our pages may refer to material available through public sources. The presence of a person’s name or other details in a public source does not mean that our website independently verifies every fact. Visitors should consult the original source for confirmation. This Privacy Policy concerns information handling connected with our website; it does not change the privacy rules or access restrictions that apply to records held by government agencies.

We aim to limit information handling to relevant purposes and encourage visitors to avoid including unnecessary personal details in messages sent to us.

Information Security

We recognize the importance of protecting information associated with website use and email communication. Appropriate security measures depend on the hosting environment, website software, email provider, and other connected services. No website or method of electronic communication can be guaranteed completely secure. Visitors should use care when sending personal information online and avoid including sensitive details in general inquiries. We aim to handle information responsibly, but we cannot promise that every transmission or storage method is free from risk.

Data Retention

Information may be retained for the period needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was received. For example, an email may remain available while a question is being reviewed or when keeping the correspondence is necessary for administrative or legal reasons. Technical logs, where collected, may follow the retention practices of the website host or other providers. Retention periods can vary depending on the type of information and the services in use. We do not claim a fixed retention period for every category of information.
