Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that supplies the results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we receive the information in your message and use it to respond.
Automatic Technical Information
Our host creates normal server logs, such as IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate activity to operate and improve the service. Cookies or comparable tools may be used for basic analytics and, where relevant, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use this information to run the service, address technical problems, measure traffic, and refine the reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers process operational logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners can receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires it.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete data a website keeps. Minnesota enacted the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act in 2024 Laws chapter 121. Because we retain very little, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and operational logs and deleting eligible information found there. Use the Contact page to make a request. Public records maintained by Minnesota, Anoka County, or Ramsey offices are outside our control and must be addressed to their custodian.
Updates to This Policy
We will post revisions to this policy here. Continued use after a posted revision indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
