Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you type a name, location, or other term into a search box, the query goes to the third-party company that operates that tool. Kandiyohi County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms apply to its handling of the query and any later account activity.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or send a contact form, we keep the message and the details you provide as needed to answer. We do not share a message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law. Do not send sensitive custody, identity, or case information that is not needed for the question.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Basic technical information may be recorded when a page loads. It helps operate the site, detect faults, and understand general use. That information can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address;
- The browser name and version in use;
- The device category and operating system;
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them;
- The referring website, when one is supplied; and
- The date and time of the request.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies may be used to measure how visitors move through the site and to support site or advertising functions. You can restrict or block cookies through browser settings. Some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- Maintain reliable page delivery and site performance;
- Send search requests to the selected partner service;
- Measure which Kandiyohi release-record resources visitors use;
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and other technical problems; and
- Display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Websites Outside Our Control
Links may lead to Kandiyohi County records, the Sheriff's Office, Minnesota courts, MNDOC, VINE, federal locators, or private search services. Minnesota government data is governed in part by the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, chapter 13, but this private site's Privacy Notice governs only this site. After you follow an outbound link, the destination's own privacy policy and security practices apply.
Advertising companies may use their systems to observe activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through the partner's technology and is controlled under the partner's policy, not this one.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to service providers that perform a specific function or to a public authority when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process a query submitted to their tool;
- Analytics providers that measure site use;
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements; and
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
Security Measures and Limits
We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards suited to the information handled by the site. No website, network, or transmission method can be guaranteed fully secure. We therefore cannot promise that information will never be intercepted, lost, or accessed without permission.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal data may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the nature of the data we hold, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data associated with you;
- Request correction of inaccurate information;
- Request deletion of information that may lawfully be erased; and
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where that choice applies.
These choices concern information held by this private site. A request about Kandiyohi County or MNDOC government data must go to the agency that maintains it under Minnesota law.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as the site, its service providers, or legal requirements change. A new version becomes available on this page and will show its updated effective date.
