Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information may be collected when someone uses Fillmore County Inmate Population, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. By using this site, you accept the practices described here. Minnesota's Government Data Practices Act, including Minnesota Statutes chapter 13, governs many government records, but this private site is not a government office, does not host official records, cannot confirm custody, and does not provide legal advice.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

When a name, location, or other detail is entered into a search tool on this site, the query is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Fillmore County Inmate Population does not keep its own database of those search terms.

Messages

If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it, respond, and maintain ordinary business records. It is not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Information Collected Automatically

Like many websites, this site may receive technical information from a browser, device, server log, analytics provider, or advertising service when a page loads.

  • IP address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type 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 browser signals, and measure advertising or analytics activity. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How the Information Is Used

  • To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
  • To send search requests to the correct outside provider.
  • To understand which pages are useful to visitors.
  • To detect errors, abuse, and technical problems.
  • To display advertising that may be based on general visitor activity.

Outside Websites

This site links to jail rosters, sheriff pages, Minnesota corrections resources, court portals, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Those outbound links and outside systems are not controlled by Fillmore County Inmate Population. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls how your information is handled.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and show interest-based ads. That tracking is controlled by those partners, not by Fillmore County Inmate Population.


Who May Receive Information

We do not sell personal information as a standalone product. Information may still be handled by the following categories of recipients.

  • Search partners that process submitted search queries.
  • Analytics vendors that measure site traffic and performance.
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information handled by this site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be fully secure, and this policy does not promise that a breach, outage, or unauthorized access can never occur.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may request review or deletion.


Your Choices and Data Rights

  • Ask for a copy of personal information this site keeps about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate contact information.
  • Ask that information be deleted where deletion is legally and technically available.
  • Opt out of certain processing where an applicable law gives that right.

Policy Changes

This privacy policy may be updated from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page with a new effective date or revised text.
