Search-tool entries
A name, location, or similar item entered into a search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our side of the site.
Messages to the site
If a visitor sends an email or other contact message, we may retain the information supplied so we can respond. We do not share it outside our organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data From Visits
When a page is requested, technical systems may collect ordinary information needed to operate, secure, and understand use of the website. This can include:
- An Internet Protocol address.
- The browser and its version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring site, when one is supplied.
- Visit timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site. A browser can usually block or remove cookies, though certain features may respond differently when cookies are unavailable.
How We Use Collected Information
We use available information to operate the reference site and improve its basic performance.
- Maintain and deliver the site efficiently.
- Send a search request to the relevant partner service.
- Understand which informational pages readers find useful.
- Detect, investigate, and correct technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Links and Advertising Outside This Site
This site links to public resources such as the Anoka County jail locator, sheriff pages, government data portals, court access pages, corrections resources, and independent search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, that destination's own privacy practices apply.
Some advertising partners may measure activity across websites to deliver interest-based advertising. That activity occurs through their systems, under their policies, rather than through an Anoka County government records system.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may nevertheless be available to the following recipients when needed for the stated purpose or required by law:
- Search partners that process a submitted search query.
- Analytics services that help measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertising.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable, standard measures intended to protect information under our control. No internet-connected service can promise absolute security, and we cannot guarantee that a transmission or stored item will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, use the Get in Touch page to ask that it be removed.

A visitor may use the Get in Touch page to request the options below concerning personal information we hold.
- Request a copy of available personal information.
