Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or other query into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and contact details are used to respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Basic technical information may be collected when a page loads or when a visitor moves through the site.
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser name, version, and settings.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps for visits and requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic preferences, and measure how pages perform. Browser settings can block cookies, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner tool.
- To understand which Anoka County record and facility pages are useful.
- To diagnose errors, abuse, or technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Other Websites and Public Agencies
This site links to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, government data sources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination site control that activity.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize visits across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through the partner's tools, not through an official Anoka County system.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold. It may be handled by limited recipients when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No website, server, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be fully secure or free from unauthorized access.
