Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Anything typed into a search box on this site goes directly to the outside company that runs that tool. The company processes the query and sends back results. We do not keep or log the names, dates, or other terms a visitor enters.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we retain the message so we can write back. It stays with our team. We do not pass it to anyone outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, our servers record a set of technical details about the visit:
- The IP address assigned to the device making the request
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on each
- The referring site, when one exists
- A timestamp for every page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files saved to your device. They let us see which pages draw traffic and where visitors lose interest. Analytics providers help combine that data into traffic summaries. Your browser can refuse cookies at any time, and some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
We use the technical and analytics data for a short list of purposes:
- Keeping pages online and loading quickly
- Passing a search request to the partner that handles it
- Reading which topics visitors find useful and which need work
- Finding and fixing technical faults
- Serving advertising that may relate to a visitor's interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, build, maintain, or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant records. What it publishes is general guidance about where Kittson County records are kept and how a reader reaches the offices that hold them, including Court Administration, the Sheriff's Office, and the statewide public case search. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and we do not assemble visitor information into consumer reports or files about third parties.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes here are operated by outside companies. Whatever you enter 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, and we have no control over either choice. Read the partner's policy before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
Pages here link out to court pages, sheriff's office sites, the Minnesota Judicial Branch, legal aid services, and third-party search tools. Following one of those links takes you away from this site, and the destination's privacy policy then applies. Check it before sharing personal details.
Advertising partners may also follow activity across sites in order to select ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may reach:
- Search partners that process queries run from this site
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that place ads on these pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
We use ordinary security practices to protect what we collect. No internet-connected system is completely safe, however. We take reasonable care with your information and cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us data, tell us and we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Minnesota law, including the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (Minn. Stat. ch. 13), sets rules for how government offices handle data about you. That law governs public agencies rather than a private website, so requests about county records belong with the county office that holds the record. For data this site collects, you can:
- Ask what we hold about you
- Ask us to correct anything inaccurate
- Ask us to delete your data
- Object to certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as the site changes. A revised version will appear on this page with a new effective date. Return here if you want to track how we handle information.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
