Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or date of birth typed into one of the search boxes goes directly to the outside provider that runs that tool. The provider processes the request and returns results. This site does not keep a record of what you entered.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send an email, that message is kept so it can be answered. It stays inside this organization and is not shared outside it unless a legal obligation requires release.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each page load produces some technical information about the visit:
- Which browser and version you are using
- The IP address your device is assigned
- The pages you opened and how long you stayed
- Your device type and operating system
- Timestamps for each page view
- The referring site, when one sent you here
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files stored on your device. They show which pages draw traffic and where visitors stop reading, and analytics services aggregate that information. You can block cookies in your browser at any time, though some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing your search requests to the right partner service
- Keeping the site online and loading quickly
- Identifying which pages are useful and which need work
- Finding and fixing technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may match your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant records. It publishes general guidance about where Olmsted County warrant records are held and how to check them through the District Court, the Sheriff's Office, and the state court records system. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing collected about visitors is assembled into consumer reports about anyone.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes on this site are operated by outside companies. Anything typed into them is handled under that partner's privacy policy rather than this one, including how long the data is kept and who may see it. Review the partner's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to court pages, Sheriff's Office pages, Minnesota court records, legal aid organizations, and outside search tools. Following any of those links takes you off this site, and the destination's privacy policy then governs the visit. Read it before sharing personal details.
Advertising partners may also track activity across sites to target ads, and that tracking runs on their systems rather than this one.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Some information may reach:
- Analytics services that measure traffic and performance
- Search partners that handle the queries you run here
- Ad networks that place advertising on these pages
- Government or law enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security practices are used to protect collected data. No internet service can promise perfect safety, so reasonable care is taken without a guarantee that a breach will never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. Personal information from anyone under 18 is not knowingly collected. If you believe a minor has sent information, contact us and it will be deleted.
Your Data Rights
Minnesota law, including the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13, governs how government agencies handle data about you. For information this private site holds, you may ask to:
- See a copy of what is on file about you
- Request that incorrect information be corrected
- Ask for your data to be erased
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
