Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own system. The provider's policy controls its handling of the query.
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the contents and reply information as needed to answer. We do not share that message outside our organization unless doing so is required by law.

- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on them
- Referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies may be used to measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some functions may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used

Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to Pine County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, court or government portals, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Public-data access at a Minnesota agency may be governed by Minnesota Statutes section 13.03, but that law does not replace the separate policies of private providers.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and select targeted ads. We do not operate those external tracking systems.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to the information and service. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed fully secure, and we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Adults Only
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Correct information that is inaccurate
- Delete personal data where deletion is available
- Opt out of certain processing where that right applies
These requests concern data held by this private site. A Pine County, Minnesota DOC, court, or federal record must be addressed to the agency that maintains it.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with an updated effective date.
