Privacy Notice

This notice describes information visitors provide, technical data collected during a visit, cookies, and outside search or advertising services. It explains how information may be used, shared, protected, corrected, or deleted. By using this private Koochiching County resource, a visitor accepts these practices. Linked government offices and search providers follow their own policies.

Information You Submit

Search terms

A name, location, or other term entered into a search box passes to the third-party company operating that tool. This site does not store or log those queries on its own systems.

Messages

An email or contact message may be retained long enough to answer it and maintain the related correspondence. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Visit Data

Ordinary server, analytics, and advertising systems may collect these details when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • The referring site, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure use and support site functions. A browser can reject or remove them, though blocking cookies may change how some features work.


Reasons for Processing

Collected data supports the operation and maintenance of the service.

  • Operate and improve page performance
  • Send search queries to the selected partner tool
  • Measure which resources visitors use
  • Identify errors and security problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Outside Sites and Tools

Links lead to sheriff and corrections records, government portals, and outside search tools. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's own privacy policy and practices apply.

Advertising partners may use their systems to recognize activity across sites and select interest-based ads. That tracking takes place under the partner's controls and policy.


Limited Data Recipients

We do not sell personal information. Depending on how a feature is used, data may be handled by:

  • Search partners processing a query
  • Analytics providers measuring site use
  • Advertising networks delivering ads
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard technical and administrative safeguards are used where appropriate. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Adults Only

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request deletion if a minor submitted personal data.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and verified identity, a visitor may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal data we hold
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Delete eligible personal information
  • Opt out of processing where that choice applies

Policy Changes

This privacy notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A new version becomes effective when posted here with an updated effective date.
