Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Anything you type into a search box on this site is passed to the outside company that operates that search. The company processes the request and returns results to your screen, and its policy covers that handling. Search terms entered into those boxes are not stored on our side.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email this site, we keep the message so we can write back. It stays inside our group, and it is not shared outside unless the law requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page on this site generates routine technical information about the visit. That information looks like this:
- The IP address your device is using
- The browser you use and the version number
- Your operating system and device type
- Which pages loaded and how long each stayed open
- The referring site, when there is one
- A time stamp for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site sets cookies, which are small files your browser stores. They let us see which pages get read and where visitors tend to leave. Analytics services help us combine that traffic into totals rather than individual visits. You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some parts of the site may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping pages online and loading quickly
- Routing a search request to the partner service that handles it
- Learning which pages readers find useful 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, compile, or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant records. What it publishes is general guidance about where Carlton County warrant records are kept and how to check them through Carlton County Court Administration, the Sheriff's Office, and the public district court case records.
Nor is this a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Nothing collected about visitors is assembled into a consumer report or into a file about any third party.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes on this site belong to outside companies. A query you enter is processed under that company's privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners decide how long they keep data and who they share it with, and those choices are outside our control. Read the partner's policy before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
This site links out to court pages, county offices, state statutes, and third-party search tools. Following one of those links takes you off this site, and the destination's policy then applies to your visit. Read it before you enter personal details anywhere.
Some advertising partners track activity across sites to target ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on ours.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold here. Some information can reach other parties:
- Search partners that run the queries you submit
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that place ads on these pages
- Law enforcement or a government body when a valid legal order compels disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security practices are used to protect what this site collects. No internet-connected service can promise perfect safety, so we work to reduce risk without claiming that a breach is impossible.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. Personal information is not knowingly collected from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent data to this site, tell us and it will be removed.
Your Data Rights
Minnesota's Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13, governs how state and local government offices handle data. It does not apply to a private site like this one, but it does give a person rights when the record belongs to a government office. Under Minnesota Statutes 13.03, a person may inspect public government data, request copies, and receive a written statement of the legal basis when access is denied.
For data this site itself holds, you can make these requests:
- Ask what this site has on file about you
- Ask us to correct something that is wrong
- Ask us to delete your data
- Ask to be excluded from certain kinds of processing
