Information You Submit
Queries Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other term entered into an embedded search box is transmitted to the independent provider that operates that tool. The provider handles the request under its own privacy terms. Osceola County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
Information included in an email or contact submission is retained as needed to read the request, respond, and maintain an appropriate record of the exchange. Message content is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Ordinary technical records may be generated when a browser loads a page. These records support security, performance monitoring, and an understanding of how the resource is used.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- Date and time stamps associated with a visit
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies may be used to measure site activity and remember limited browser-level preferences. A visitor can block or remove cookies through browser controls, although some site or partner-tool functions may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used only for routine operational and service purposes.
- Operate the website and maintain reasonable loading performance
- Send a search request to the partner service selected by the visitor
- Understand which Osceola County record-reference pages are useful
- Detect, diagnose, and correct technical or security problems
- Display advertising that may be selected according to a visitor’s interests
Websites and Services Reached by Link
Pages link to resources such as the Osceola County Sheriff’s Department, county courts, Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS, VINELink, federal locators, news publishers, and independent search tools. Once a visitor follows one of those links, the destination’s own privacy policy and data practices apply. This notice does not govern a government portal or third-party service.
Advertising companies may use technology on their own systems to recognize activity across different websites and select interest-based advertisements. That tracking is performed by those companies, not through a database of search terms maintained by Osceola County Recent Arrests.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may nevertheless be processed by the following parties when necessary for their stated function:
- Search partners that receive and process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure visits and performance
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess advertisements
- Law-enforcement agencies or other public bodies acting under a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information under this site’s control. No internet transmission, hosted service, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. This notice therefore does not promise that a breach, unauthorized access, or data loss is impossible.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal information, a request may be sent through the Get in Touch page so the information can be reviewed and, where appropriate, deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the law that applies and the type of information held, a person may ask to exercise the following rights:
- Receive a copy of personal information maintained by this site
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate
- Request deletion of eligible personal information
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where that choice is legally available
A request should describe the information and the requested action clearly. Identity verification may be required before a request is completed. Questions about a government arrest, jail, or court record must go to the agency that controls that record because this site does not host those records.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised when site practices, service providers, or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective date.
Effective date: September 11, 2026
