Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Anything typed into a search box on this site passes directly to the third-party company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and returns the results. Nothing you type is kept or logged on our side.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to this site is kept so it can be answered. Those messages stay with our team and are not shared outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Technical details arrive with every page request, the way they do on most websites:
- The page or pages viewed, with timestamps
- The browser name and version in use
- The device type and operating system
- The IP address assigned to the device
- How long each page stayed open
- The referring site, when one sent the visitor here
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files a browser stores on a device. They show how visitors move through the site, which pages get read, and where people leave. Analytics services aggregate that traffic information. Browser settings can block cookies at any time, though some parts of the site may behave differently when they are blocked.
What We Do With This Data
The technical data collected here is used for a short list of purposes:
- Keeping pages online and loading quickly
- Routing a search request to the correct partner service
- Learning which pages readers find useful and which need work
- Finding and fixing technical problems
- Serving advertising that may match a visitor's interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of warrants or personal warrant records. It publishes general guidance about where Renville County warrant records are held and how to check them through the sheriff's office, the district court, and the relevant state systems.
This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing collected about visitors is assembled into consumer reports or files about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes here belong to outside companies. What is typed into them is processed under that partner's privacy policy rather than this one, and those partners set their own retention and sharing rules. Read the partner policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Pages here link to court portals, sheriff's office pages, state agencies, legal aid organizations, and outside search tools. Following one of those links leaves this site, and the destination's privacy policy takes over at that point. Read it before sharing personal details.
Some advertising partners track activity across sites to show interest-based ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Some information may reach:
- Ad networks that place advertising on these pages
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Search partners that handle queries submitted here
- A government body or law enforcement agency when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security practices are used to protect the data this site collects. No internet service can promise perfect protection, so the honest statement is that reasonable safeguards are in place and a breach cannot be ruled out entirely.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. Personal information is not knowingly collected from anyone under 18. Anyone who believes a minor has submitted information here can ask for it to be deleted, and it will be removed promptly.
Your Data Rights
Minnesota law, including the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, gives people rights over data that a government entity holds about them. This site is not a government entity, so those rules do not apply here, but the same expectations guide how requests about visitor data are handled. On request, a visitor can:
- Ask what information about them is held here
- Request that incorrect information be corrected
- Ask for their data to be deleted
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change over time. A revised version replaces the current one on this page, with a new effective date at the bottom. The date shows when the current text took effect.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
