Information You Submit
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party company that powers the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's policy applies to the information it receives.
If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details needed to respond. We do not share a message outside the organization unless doing so is needed to answer it, operate the service, or comply with law.
Automatic Technical Data
Standard web systems may record limited technical information when a page loads. This helps deliver the site and diagnose errors.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when supplied
- Dates and timestamps
Cookies and similar storage help measure site use and remember basic preferences. A browser can block or delete cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports ordinary site operations and service improvement.
- Keep pages available, stable, and responsive
- Send search requests to the selected partner tool
- Learn which sections visitors use
- Find, investigate, and repair technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests
Links and Outside Services
Links lead to McLeod County offices, Minnesota corrections and court portals, federal locators, release-record sources, and independent search tools. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that operator's privacy terms control its collection and use.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That tracking occurs in their systems, under their policies.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be disclosed to service providers or authorities when needed.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure traffic
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used for data under our control. No internet connection, server, email system, or storage method can be guaranteed secure, so we cannot promise protection against every breach or unauthorized act.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal data may use the Contacts page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, a person may ask for access to personal data we hold, request correction, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Browser controls can also limit cookies. Minnesota public records linked from the site remain controlled by the government agency that holds them, not by this privacy notice.
Changes to This Notice
Privacy practices may change as services, providers, or legal duties change. A revised notice will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after publication is governed by the current version.
