Information You Provide
Search Entries
A name or location entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those submitted search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Email or contact messages may be retained so that we can respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Details Collected
Like most websites, basic technical information is recorded when a page loads. It can include:
- Internet protocol address

- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring page, when one is available
- Date and time of the visit
Cookies
Cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. A browser can block cookies, though some functions may respond differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- Operate and improve the site
- Route a search request to the relevant partner service
- Understand which pages visitors find useful

- Display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests
External Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to jail rosters, booking systems, sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, and search tools. Examples include the Benton County Sheriff, the county’s public-data forms, and the Minnesota DOC locator. Once you leave this site, the receiving service’s privacy policy applies.
Advertising partners may track activity across sites for interest-based advertising through their own systems, not through a record maintained by this site.

We do not sell personal data. Information may reach the following parties when needed for the stated purpose:
- Search partners processing an entered query
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Government or law-enforcement authorities responding to a valid legal order
Security Practices
We use reasonable security practices, but no internet-connected service can promise complete security. We cannot guarantee that a transmission or stored technical record will never be accessed improperly.
