Information You Submit
Terms entered in searches
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The site itself does not retain or log those search terms. The provider’s own privacy terms apply to its handling of the query.
Messages sent to us
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. The message is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected
Standard server, analytics, and advertising systems may record technical information when a page loads. That information can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name and version.
- The device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- The date and time of the request.
Cookies and browser choices
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support certain functions. You may refuse or remove cookies through your browser controls, although some features may work differently after cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports routine site operation and service improvement. It may be used to:
- Keep pages available and responsive.
- Send a search request to the selected partner.
- Measure which resources visitors find useful.
- Detect and repair errors or security problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to the Lac qui Parle County Sheriff’s Office, Minnesota corrections systems, court portals, release resources, or outside search providers. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy governs its data practices.
Some advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across more than one website and select interest-based advertising. That tracking takes place through the advertising partner, not through a public-record file hosted here.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may nevertheless be provided to:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or evaluate ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body responding to a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use customary safeguards intended to protect the information under our control. No website, transmission method, or connected storage system can be promised as fully secure. We therefore cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification of the request, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate.
- Delete personal information in our control.
- Stop certain forms of processing.
Requests concerning a sheriff, court, Minnesota DOC, VINELink, or other external record must go to that record holder. Minnesota government data access is governed in part by the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as the site or its practices change. An updated version becomes effective when posted here with a new effective date.
