Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name into a search box on this site, the entry travels to the outside provider that operates the tool. That company processes the request and returns the results. We do not keep or record the terms you enter.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Messages sent to us are retained so we can answer them. They stay inside our team, and we do not pass them to anyone outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Technical details arrive with every page request our servers receive:
- The IP address your device is using
- The browser you are on and its version
- The type of device and its operating system
- Which pages opened and how long each stayed open
- The referring site, when there is one
- A timestamp for every page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files placed on your device. They help us see which pages draw traffic and where readers leave. Analytics providers help aggregate that picture. You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time, and some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
The details described above serve a short list of operating needs.
- Keeping pages available and loading quickly
- Passing search requests to the correct partner service
- Learning which pages readers find useful and which need work
- Finding and fixing technical problems
- Serving advertising that may relate to your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, build, compile, or sell databases of warrants or personal warrant records. What it publishes is general guidance about where Scott County warrant records are kept and how to ask about them, which in Minnesota means the Sheriff's Office warrant line, Scott County Court Administration, and Minnesota Court Records Online.
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Nothing collected from visitors is assembled into consumer reports or into records about other people. Minnesota's own data practices law governs government records, not this website, and a request made to a county office is answered by that office under Minn. Stat. ch. 13.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes here are operated by outside companies. Whatever you type into one of those tools is handled under that company's privacy policy rather than this one, and those companies set their own retention and sharing rules. We have no control over them, so it is worth reading the partner's policy before you run a search.
Links to Other Websites
Pages here link to sheriff's office sites, court portals, county records pages, legal aid organizations, and third-party search tools. Following one of those links takes you away from this site, and the destination's privacy policy then applies to your visit. Read it before you share personal details.
Some advertising partners track activity across sites to target ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may reach:
- Search partners that process queries you run here
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place advertising on these pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security practices are used to protect the information this site collects. No internet service can promise perfect safety, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur. We take reasonable steps and tell readers plainly that the risk is not zero.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided information to us, contact us and it will be removed.
Your Data Rights
Minnesota's data practices law, the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act at Minn. Stat. ch. 13, governs records held by government offices rather than by a private website. Even so, you can ask us to take the following steps with anything this site holds:
- Provide a copy of the information we have about you
- Correct information that is inaccurate
- Delete your data on request
- Stop certain kinds of processing
Where a government record is involved, the office that holds it responds under Minn. Stat. 13.03, which gives the public the right to inspect and copy public data.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change. When it does, the revised version appears on this page with a new effective date, so the date below always reflects the version in force.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
