Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is submitted to the outside provider that operates the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us directly, we receive the contents of that message and use them only to respond.
Data We Gather Automatically
Hosting records ordinary technical logs such as an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We use aggregate information to operate and improve the service. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and, where relevant, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
Limited information helps operate the service, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve its reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create profiles of individual readers.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.
Who Might See Your Data
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Minnesota's Consumer Data Privacy Act information is available from the Minnesota Attorney General, and current statute material is published at Minn. Stat. ยง 325M. Because this service retains very little, a request generally involves checking the contact mailbox and relevant logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Minnesota state, county, or city offices remain under their custodians' control.
Updates to This Policy
Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
