Information You Provide
Search requests
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Stevens County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and contact submissions
If a visitor sends an email or a message through a contact form, the message and contact details may be kept to answer the request or maintain the conversation. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most online services, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical information when a page loads. This information helps operate the pages, measure general use, and identify technical problems.
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring page or service, when available
- Date and time of the request
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support its features. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, although some features may work differently after they are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Information is used for routine site operation and improvement, not to create official booking files or replace the records held by Stevens County or Minnesota agencies.
- Maintain and improve page performance
- Send search requests to the appropriate partner service
- Learn which information pages are useful to visitors
- Find, diagnose, and correct technical issues
- Display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests
Outside Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to sheriff pages, court portals, corrections resources, official public-record sources, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy practices of the destination control the information provided there. Review that destination’s notice before submitting personal information.
Some advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That activity occurs under the partner’s policies and systems, not as an official Stevens County record service.
When Data May Be Shared
Personal information is not sold. Limited information may be received by or disclosed to the following parties when needed to provide a feature, operate the service, or comply with a legal duty.
- Search partners that process submitted search requests
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information handled by the service. No internet-connected system is fully secure, however, and no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed free from every unauthorized access or loss.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent, guardian, or affected person who believes a minor submitted information may request its removal through the contact route.
Your Information Choices
Where applicable, a visitor may ask about personal information held from a contact submission or other direct interaction. Requests will be reviewed in light of legal duties and the information actually maintained.
- Request a copy of personal information held by the service
- Ask to correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion of information, where permitted
- Opt out of certain processing where that option is available
Changes to This Notice
Privacy practices may change as the service, its partners, or applicable requirements change. An updated notice will be posted at this address with a revised effective date, and continued use after posting is subject to the updated notice.
