Information You Submit
Queries Sent Through Search Tools
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the search service. Crow Wing County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider receives the query under its own privacy terms.
Messages Sent to Us
Information in an email or contact-form message is retained as needed to read the request and prepare a reply. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive identifiers that are not needed for the question.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary server, analytics, and advertising systems may collect technical details when a page loads. These details help operate the site and understand general use.
- The internet protocol address associated with the request
- Browser name, browser version, and related settings
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- The referring page or website, when available
- Date and time stamps tied to requests
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies may be used to measure how visitors move through the site and to support site, analytics, or advertising functions. Browser controls can block or remove cookies. Some features may work differently when that storage is disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used for limited operating and service purposes:
- Maintain reliable page delivery and reasonable performance
- Send a search request to the applicable partner service
- Understand which Crow Wing release-resource pages visitors use
- Detect errors, troubleshoot failures, and protect site functions
- Display advertising that may reflect general visitor interests
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to Crow Wing County Sheriff and Jail resources, Minnesota Department of Corrections services, court portals, federal custody locators, release records, or third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy notice governs its collection and use. Minnesota government data accessed through an agency remains subject to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, chapter 13, and other laws that apply to the originating office.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on the partner’s systems and is governed by the partner’s privacy choices, not by this notice alone.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. Depending on the feature used, limited data may be available to:
- Search partners that process a visitor’s submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No website, network, transmission method, or storage system is fully secure. Crow Wing County Released Inmates cannot promise that information will never be intercepted, exposed, or lost.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information held by the site
- Correct information that is inaccurate
- Delete personal information that may lawfully be erased
- Opt out of certain processing when that choice applies
These choices concern information held by Crow Wing County Released Inmates. Requests about jail, court, DOC, VINE, BOP, or ICE records must go to the organization that controls those records.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised when site practices, partner services, or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes available on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use after posting is subject to the current notice.
