Information You Submit
Search entries
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own system. The provider’s privacy terms apply to its processing.
Messages
An email or contact message may be retained long enough to read it, respond, and keep a reasonable record of the exchange. We do not share a message outside the organization unless doing so is required by law.
Automatic Technical Information
A normal page request can produce limited technical and usage data. It helps measure performance, diagnose faults, and understand how the site is used.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page or site, when supplied
- Date and time of the request
Cookies
Cookies may help measure visits and site use. A browser can reject or delete them. Blocking cookies may change how some site or partner features work.
Purposes for Using Data
Information is used only for ordinary site and service functions.
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable speed
- Send a requested search to the selected provider
- Learn which pages readers use
- Find and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Sites Reached Through Links
Links may lead to Clay County release records, Sheriff and MNDOC pages, courts, federal locators, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy terms govern. Official Minnesota records may also be subject to the Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes chapter 13, but this private site does not control those agency systems.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize activity across different sites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on their systems.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data can be processed or disclosed to the parties needed to provide and protect the service.
- Search partners that receive a submitted query
- Analytics vendors measuring site use
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to reduce unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No internet-connected service is entirely secure, so this notice does not promise that a breach or technical failure can never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted personal information, an adult may use the contact page to request review and deletion.
Your Information Choices
A person may ask about personal data held directly by this site and make an appropriate request.
- Request a copy of personal data held
- Ask to correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion where applicable
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
