Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Information entered into a displayed third-party search tool is sent to that provider under its own practices. The site does not maintain a court-record database or represent that it stores each term submitted to a provider.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to the site may be retained to respond, protect the service, or meet a legal obligation. Do not send case-file details, payment information, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive information through an informal message.
Data We Gather Automatically
Hosting and analytics services may receive routine technical information associated with a visit.
- IP address and approximate network information
- Browser, device, and operating-system details
- Pages requested, referral source, and timestamps
- Basic performance and security logs
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies or similar tools can help measure traffic, maintain performance, and understand aggregate use. Browser controls can limit cookies, although a service or feature may work differently as a result.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and message information may be used to operate, secure, measure, and improve the reference resource, answer a direct inquiry, and deliver search or advertising functions. It is not assembled into a consumer report or used to publish a Lac Qui Parle County court record.
No Court-Record Data on File
The site does not host, compile, sell, or maintain a docket database. Official Minnesota Judicial Branch records are governed by the Minnesota Rules of Public Access to Records of the Judicial Branch, including Rules 4 and 8, and the originating court determines access to its records.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside providers power any displayed search tools. Their own policies govern their collection, retention, pricing, and sharing. Review a provider's policy before submitting information, and use official Court Administration or MCRO channels for court-record questions.
Links to Other Websites
Links to Minnesota Judicial Branch, county, court, or other external resources leave this site. The destination's privacy terms govern there. Advertising or analytics providers may use their own technology on their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Data may be processed by hosting, analytics, security, advertising, or search-service providers, and may be disclosed when a valid legal requirement applies. Personal information is not sold as a court-record product.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or storage system can be promised completely secure. Limit sensitive information in messages and contact the official court directly for record requests.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults. It does not knowingly seek personal information from children. A person who believes a child submitted personal information may ask for its review or deletion through the available contact method.
Your Data Rights
Depending on residence and applicable law, a visitor may ask about personal information held in a direct message, seek correction, request deletion where permitted, or object to certain processing. Minnesota court-record access is a separate question governed by Judicial Branch rules and statutes, including Minnesota Statutes section 13.90.
Updates to This Policy
The policy may change as services or legal requirements change. The version displayed on this page applies from its publication date. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy to the extent permitted by law.
