Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice explains what information may be collected when visitors use Berrien County Inmate Population, how that information is used, when it may be shared, and what choices visitors may have. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information Visitors Provide

Search Terms

Names, locations, or other terms entered into a search box may be sent to the third-party provider that operates that search tool. This site does not keep its own permanent log of those search terms.

Messages

If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and reply. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.


Information Collected Automatically

Standard technical information may be collected when a page loads or when a browser interacts with site features.

  • IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent
  • Referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use and support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, though some features may work differently afterward.


How Information Is Used

  • Advertising networks that support site funding.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
