Information You Submit
Search Queries
When a visitor types a name, location, or similar detail into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Macomb County Inmate Population does not run the partner's database and does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the submitted name, email address, and message content may be kept long enough to review and respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law.
