Information Collected
Search queries entered into sponsored search boxes may be sent to the third-party provider that operates the search tool. Contact messages may include the name, email address, and message text submitted by the visitor. Standard technical data may also be logged, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring page, time on page, and approximate location from network data.
Cookies, pixels, local storage, or similar technologies may be used for basic site function, analytics, ad measurement, fraud prevention, and remembering preferences.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to operate the site, route contact messages, measure page performance, detect misuse, improve content, display advertising, and understand how visitors use Lincoln County jail, court, DOC, federal, and immigration custody resources. Search queries may be used by search partners under their own policies.
Who May Receive Information
Information may be shared with search partners, hosting providers, analytics services, advertising networks, security vendors, email or form providers, and professional advisers. Information may also be disclosed to law enforcement, courts, regulators, or other parties when required by legal order or needed to protect rights, safety, security, or site operations.
Outside Links
Links to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department, Minnesota Judicial Branch, Minnesota DOC, VINE, BOP, ICE, and other outside resources lead to separate websites. Those websites control their own content, cookies, security, and privacy practices. Review their notices before submitting personal information or payment details.
Security and Retention
Reasonable steps are used to protect information, but no website, network, form, or email system is completely secure. Information may be kept as long as needed for site operation, legal compliance, dispute handling, fraud prevention, analytics, or business records.
Children and Data Rights
This site is not directed to children under 18. Visitors may request access, correction, deletion, or opt-out choices where applicable law provides those rights. Minnesota's Government Data Practices Act, including Minnesota Statutes 13.03, applies to government data held by Minnesota agencies, not to this private site, but official records should be requested from the agency that maintains them.
Policy Updates
This notice may be updated when site practices, partner tools, legal requirements, or available privacy choices change. The posted version controls once it appears on this page.
