Privacy Notice

This notice describes what Kittson County Busted Mugshots may collect, why that information is used, and when it may be shared. It applies to activity on this private reference site, including use of an outside search service or a message sent to us. By using the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here.

Information You Provide

Search entries

A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Kittson County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. A search result from a third party is not an official Kittson County record.

Messages

If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be retained to respond or maintain the communication. We do not share messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data and Cookies

Like most websites, we and service providers may receive routine technical information when a page loads. This information helps operate, secure, and understand use of the site.

  • Internet protocol address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring site, when one is available.
  • Dates and times of access.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may show how visitors use the site and help remember technical settings. A browser can be configured to limit or reject cookies, although some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Information is used for ordinary site operations and service improvement. It may be used to:

  • Operate and maintain the site.
  • Send search entries to the provider chosen for that tool.
  • Understand which Kittson County records-reference material is useful.
  • Detect, diagnose, and correct technical problems.
  • Display advertising that may be tailored to interests.

Other Websites and Services

This site links to official resources such as the Kittson County Sheriff’s Office, MCRO, and the Minnesota DOC public viewer, as well as third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, that organization’s own privacy policy and practices govern the information it receives.

Advertising partners may also measure activity across websites to deliver interest-based advertising through their own systems. Kittson County Busted Mugshots does not control their collection or use of data.


Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be disclosed to the following recipients when necessary for the purposes described in this notice:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query.
  • Analytics providers that help measure site performance.
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement or government authorities when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security Practices

We use reasonable, standard safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, so we cannot guarantee that a system will never experience unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted information, they may ask us to delete it.


Your Information Choices

A visitor may use the Get in Touch page to ask about information we hold. Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, a visitor may:

  • Request access to personal information held by us.
  • Ask that inaccurate information be corrected.
  • Request deletion of applicable information.
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing where available.

We may revise this Privacy Notice as practices or legal requirements change. An updated version will be posted here with a revised effective date.
