Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you use a search box on this site, the search terms go to the third-party search provider that runs the tool. We do not use the search widget to collect court records, and we do not treat the search terms as official county data.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you contact us directly, we keep the message so we can respond. We do not sell that message and do not use it to create a county record.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, we may receive technical information from your browser and server logs when you visit:

- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring site, if any
- Timestamp of the visit
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and which pages are used most often. You can block cookies in your browser, but some tools may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data

- Fix technical problems
- Serve relevant ads where applicable
Who Might See Your Data
We may share data with search providers, analytics services, advertising partners, or law enforcement when required by law. The public-record sources linked on this site are separate from our own privacy practices.
Privacy and Minnesota Law
Minnesota Statutes section 13.03 is the main government-data reference for public records in this state. It is one of the reasons the site points visitors to the official county office for certified copies and official verification rather than trying to recreate the county record itself.
