Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Anything typed into a search box on this site goes directly to the outside provider that runs that search, and the provider processes it and returns results. Those search terms are not stored or logged on our side.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to this site is kept so that we can answer it, and it stays inside our own group. We do not pass messages to anyone outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Technical details arrive with every page request, and they are recorded as part of ordinary site operation:
- The IP address assigned to the device making the request
- The browser name and version in use
- The device type and operating system
- Which pages were viewed and how long each stayed open
- The referring site, when one exists
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device, and this site uses them to see how visitors move through the pages, including which pages draw traffic and where readers leave. Analytics services aggregate that traffic information. Browser settings allow cookies to be blocked at any time, though some parts of the site may behave differently when they are.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping pages available and loading quickly
- Passing search requests to the partner service that handles them
- Learning which pages readers find useful and which need revision
- Finding and repairing technical problems
- Serving advertising that may relate to a visitor's interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell warrant databases or personal warrant records. It publishes plain guidance about where Chisago County warrant records are held and how to check them through the District Court, the Sheriff's Office, and the county jail. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing collected about visitors is assembled into consumer reports or files about other people. A warrant record held by a Minnesota agency is governed by the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes chapter 13, and by the access limits in that law.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes on this site belong to outside companies, and whatever is entered into them is handled under that company's privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners decide how long they keep data and with whom they share it. Read the partner's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Pages on this site link to court portals, Sheriff's Office pages, state statute pages, and other outside resources. Following one of those links leaves this site, and the destination's privacy policy takes over at that point. Read it before providing personal details.
Advertising partners may also track activity across websites to select the ads a visitor sees. That tracking runs on their systems rather than ours.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold here. Limited information may reach:
- Search partners that process queries run from this site
- Analytics providers used to measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that place ads on these pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security practices are used to protect the information this site collects. No internet-connected service can promise perfect safety, and a breach cannot be ruled out entirely. What can be promised is that reasonable steps are taken and that collected data is kept to a minimum.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. Personal information is not knowingly collected from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor has provided information can ask for it to be removed, and it will be deleted promptly.
Your Data Rights
Minnesota's data practices law governs records held by government agencies, and this privately run site follows the same general principles for the limited data it holds. At a minimum, a visitor can:
- Ask for a copy of whatever this site holds about them
- Ask for incorrect information to be corrected
- Ask for collected data to be erased
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
The Minnesota Government Data Practices Act is the law that applies when the record is held by a county or city office, including the Chisago County District Court file and Sheriff's Office records.
