Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Text entered into a site search widget is processed by the outside provider that operates that widget. The site does not keep a separate database of the terms entered.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to the resource may be retained to respond or meet a legal obligation. It is not sold or shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Technical logs may record ordinary visit information.
- IP address and approximate network data
- Browser, device, and operating-system information
- Pages viewed, referring page, and visit timing
- Performance and error information
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics may be used to understand traffic and keep pages working. Browser controls can limit cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
Visit data is used to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the resource, to deliver a submitted widget query to its provider, and to support advertising or referral arrangements where applicable.
No Court-Record Data on File
The resource does not host, compile, sell, or maintain a court-record database. It links readers to official Sibley County and Minnesota sources. Access to judicial records is governed by Minnesota's Rules of Public Access to Records of the Judicial Branch, rather than by a database operated here. The resource is not a consumer reporting agency and does not create consumer reports.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside providers operate the search widgets. Their retention, payment, and sharing practices are governed by their own policies, which should be reviewed before information is submitted.
Links to Other Websites
Links to MCRO, Minnesota courts, county resources, and other sites leave this resource. Their privacy terms apply after a visitor reaches those sites. Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited data can be processed by service providers that operate analytics, widgets, hosting, or advertising, and it may be disclosed when a valid legal requirement applies.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or storage method is guaranteed to be secure. Visitors should avoid placing sensitive personal, financial, or court-protected information in a general message.
Users Under 18
The resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. Information believed to have been provided by a child can be addressed through the listed contact route.
Your Data Rights
Depending on applicable law, a visitor may request access, correction, deletion, or an explanation of personal data held from a direct message. Minnesota court-record access questions belong with the court under Rule 8 and Minnesota Statutes ยง 13.90, not with this private resource.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as the service changes. The version posted on this page applies from its publication date.
