Information You Submit
Search Terms
If you type a name, location, or other term into a search box supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to read it and respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, technical information may be collected when a page loads or a link is clicked.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic preferences, support advertising, and measure whether pages are working as intended. You can block cookies in your browser, but some features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- Operate the site and keep pages loading reliably.
- Send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- Understand which Itasca County jail, court, roster, and locator pages are useful to visitors.
- Detect broken links, errors, misuse, and technical problems.
- Show advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing context.
Other Websites and Public Portals
This site links to official and third-party resources, including the Itasca County Sheriff's Office roster, the county GovQA portal, Minnesota Court Records Online, the MNDOC public locator, BOP, ICE, VINELink, and outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and data practices of that outside site apply.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure ads or personalize advertising across websites. That activity happens on their systems, not under this site's direct control.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to these limited categories when needed for the site to function or when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process a query submitted through their tool.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or similar legal process requires a response.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public information website, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed breach-proof. Any information sent online carries some risk.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
