Search Entries
When a name, location, or similar search term is entered into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep a separate database of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it, respond, and manage related records. It is not shared outside the organization except when required by law.

Outside Website Links
This site links to government rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, Minnesota court portals, statutory sources, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the outside website controls how your data is collected and used.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ad performance or show interest-based ads across different websites. Their tracking occurs under their policies, not under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act rules that apply to Minnesota government agencies. Those public-record rules include Minn. Stat. Chapter 13, with law-enforcement data addressed in Minn. Stat. 13.82 and corrections or detention data addressed in Minn. Stat. 13.85.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a contact list. It may be handled by service providers or disclosed where the law requires it.
- Search partners that process visitor search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Data Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect site systems and messages. No internet-connected service can be made completely secure, so this notice does not promise that data will be immune from every error, misuse, or unauthorized access attempt.
