Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when someone uses Koochiching County Inmate Population, how that information may be used, and when it may be shared. Use of this site means accepting the practices described here. Government records linked from this site remain controlled by the public agencies that publish them, including offices subject to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act and Minn. Stat. Ch. 13.

Information You Enter

Search Terms

When a name, location, or other term is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Koochiching County Inmate Population does not keep a separate site-side log of those search terms.

Messages

If you send an email or contact message, the message and return contact details may be kept long enough to respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
  • Referring website, when available.
  • Date and time stamps.

Outside Websites

This site links to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, Minnesota public-data resources, and third-party search tools. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls how that destination handles information.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking happens through their services, not through a public Koochiching County record system.

  • Analytics providers that measure site traffic and performance.
  • Advertising networks that support site operations.
  • Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security

Reasonable security practices are used for site operations, but no internet-connected website can be guaranteed against every error, intrusion, or loss. No promise is made that transmission or storage is breach-proof.
