Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, a case number, or a date of birth typed into a search box on this site travels directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider runs the query and returns the results. We do not log or store what you type, and we cannot retrieve it afterward.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we keep the message long enough to answer it. It stays with our team, and we do not pass it to anyone outside the organization unless the law compels us to.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each time a page loads, our servers record routine technical details about the visit:
- The IP address your device connected from
- The browser and version you are using
- The type of device and its operating system
- Which pages loaded and how long each one stayed open
- The referring site, when a link brought you here
- Time stamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files a site stores on your device. They let us see which pages draw traffic and where visitors tend to leave. Analytics services help group that information into reports. You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some parts of the site may act differently when you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping pages loading quickly and reliably
- Passing your search request to the correct partner service
- Learning which pages help readers and which need work
- Finding and fixing technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may relate to your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, build, or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant records. It publishes general guidance about where Stevens County warrant records are kept and how to check them through the court, the Sheriff's Office, and the state court tools. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing gathered about visitors is assembled into consumer reports or files about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes on this site belong to outside companies, and each one runs under its own privacy policy rather than this one. Those companies decide how long they keep query data and whether 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
Links on this site lead to court pages, sheriff's office pages, state agencies, legal aid organizations, and outside search tools. Following one takes you off this site, and that destination's privacy policy governs from that point. Read it before you share personal details.
Some advertising partners track activity across sites to target ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Information can reach a few other parties:
- Search partners that handle a query you run here
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that serve advertising on these pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices for the data we hold. Even so, no internet-connected system can promise perfect safety. We take reasonable steps to protect information and cannot guarantee 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, contact us and we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Minnesota's Government Data Practices Act, at Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13, governs records held by government bodies rather than by a private site like this one. Where Minnesota law gives you rights over data a private operator holds, you can use them here. At a minimum you can:
- Ask for a copy of what we hold about you
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong
- Ask us to delete your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as the site changes. When it does, the revised version replaces this page with a new effective date. Check back if you want to follow how visitor information is handled.
