Information Collected
A search query entered into a third-party search feature is sent to that provider to return its results. A message sent through a contact route may include the name, email address, and details supplied by the sender. Like most sites, technical information such as browser type, device information, IP address, referring page, date, and pages viewed can be recorded automatically.
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies may be used to keep a service functioning, understand traffic, measure advertising, or remember preferences. A browser may permit the visitor to limit or delete cookies, though that can affect some features or third-party services.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to provide a requested feature, respond to a message, maintain and improve the site, prevent misuse, measure performance, and show or measure advertising. Search terms are not a substitute for an official records request and are handled by the provider of the search feature according to that provider’s terms.
Sharing and Service Providers
Information may be handled by search partners, analytics providers, advertising networks, hosting vendors, or other contractors that help operate a feature. It may also be disclosed when required by a lawful subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or when needed to protect rights, safety, or service integrity.
External Websites
Links to the Becker County Sheriff, municipal police, courts, Minnesota agencies, media, and other sources open sites operated by others. Their privacy practices, security, cookies, and availability are their own. Review an outside site’s notice before entering personal information there.
Security Limits
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information, but no online transmission or storage method is completely secure. Avoid sending sensitive government-record information through a general contact message when an official records custodian provides a designated process.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 18, and it does not knowingly seek personal information from them. A parent or guardian who believes a child supplied information may request review through the Contacts page.
Your Choices and Requests
You may ask about access, correction, deletion, or a privacy concern relating to information held by this site. Requests are subject to applicable law and may require identity verification. For an agency booking, court, or police record, contact the original government custodian rather than this reference.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may change as the site or its providers change. The version posted here is the notice that applies when it is viewed.
