Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query under its own policies. Crow Wing County Court Docket does not keep a visitor's search terms as an internal court-record database.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends a message to the private site operator, the message may be retained to respond or meet a legal obligation. It is not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like many websites, the service may receive routine technical information when a page loads:
- The device IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device and operating-system information
- Pages viewed and approximate visit duration
- The referring website, if any
- Page-view timestamps
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files a browser stores on a device. They can help measure aggregate use, page performance, and navigation patterns. Browser settings can limit cookies, although some site features may not work the same way when cookies are blocked.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate, secure, and improve the website.
- Direct a submitted search to its partner service.
- Understand aggregate page use and technical performance.
- Investigate errors and service problems.
- Support advertising that may be based on general visitor activity.
No Court-Record Data on File
This private resource does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of Crow Wing County court files or personal case records. Court access is governed by the Minnesota Judicial Branch rules, including Minnesota Rule of Public Access 8, and by case-specific restrictions. The general public inspection and copy baseline in Minn. Stat. § 13.03 remains subject to court access rules, confidentiality statutes, and court orders.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes are supplied by outside companies. Information entered there is handled under the provider's own privacy policy, retention rules, and sharing practices. Review that provider's policy before submitting a query because its practices are outside this site's control.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Minnesota Judicial Branch, Crow Wing County offices, MCRO, legal-resource organizations, or third-party services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy controls the visit. Personal details should be shared only after reviewing the destination's terms.
Advertising providers may measure activity across websites to deliver advertising. That activity occurs under their systems and policies, not through a court-file service operated by this site.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be received by:
- Search partners that process a query entered into their tool.
- Analytics providers measuring site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve an advertisement.
- Government or law-enforcement authorities when a valid legal demand requires disclosure.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information the service receives. No internet-connected system can promise complete security, so a breach-free result cannot be guaranteed.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If such information is believed to have been submitted, the site operator should be notified so the issue can be addressed.
Your Data Rights
A visitor may ask about personal information held by this site and may request correction, deletion, or an opt-out from certain data processing where applicable. Minnesota court-record access is distinct from visitor-data requests: Rule 8 and Minn. Stat. § 13.03 govern the public access baseline for court records, while Court Administration handles its official case files.
- Request a copy of personal information held by the site.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Request deletion where retention is not required.
- Opt out of certain data processing where that option applies.
Updates to This Policy
This privacy policy may be revised when practices or applicable requirements change. A revised version takes effect when posted here.
