Information You Send Directly
A name, phone number, or address submitted to a search form is sent to the third-party provider that returns those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of search entries. If you contact us, we receive the message contents and use them to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Ordinary hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate information to maintain the service and understand use. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.
What We Do With This Data
We use this limited information to run the service, address errors, measure traffic, and improve the reference. We do not sell visitor lists or make individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers process logs for us, and analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires it.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described here. Because there are no accounts, the reference does not hold a visitor password or account profile.
Users Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and does not target children. We do not knowingly collect a minor’s personal information. Contact us if you believe a minor sent information, and we will remove it.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Minnesota’s Consumer Data Privacy Act, Minn. Stat. §§325M.10–.21, supplies state rights and covered-controller duties within its scope. Because we keep little, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and logs, then removing applicable information. Use the Contact page. Public records held by Minnesota, Clay County, or Moorhead custodians are outside our control and must be addressed with the custodian.
Updates to This Policy
Policy changes will appear here. Continued use after a posted change indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
