Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or date of birth typed into one of the search boxes on this site travels to the outside company that runs that tool. The company processes the input and sends results back. This site keeps no record of the terms entered.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to this site is kept so it can be answered, and it stays inside the team that runs the site. It is not passed to anyone outside the organization unless a legal requirement calls for it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Technical details about a visit are picked up whenever a page loads:
- The IP address assigned to the device
- The browser name and version in use
- The device type and operating system
- Which pages were opened and how long each one stayed on screen
- The referring site, when one sent the visitor here
- A timestamp for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files a device stores to help show how visitors move through the pages. Analytics services add up that traffic so the busiest pages and the drop-off points are visible. Browser settings can block cookies at any time, though a few parts of the site may behave differently when they are blocked.
What We Do With This Data
Collected data is used to keep the site running and to understand how it is used:
- Keeping pages available and fixing technical problems
- Seeing which topics and pages readers use most
- Improving how the pages are organized
- Protecting the site against misuse or automated abuse
- Meeting legal obligations that apply to the site
Personal data is not sold, and it is not turned into a consumer report about anyone.
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not hold, build, or sell any collection of warrants or personal warrant records. Its pages explain where Becker County warrant records live and how to check them with the sheriff, the district court, and the state systems that hold them. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing collected from visitors is assembled into a report about a third party.
Third-Party Search Partners
A search box on this site belongs to an outside company, and anything typed into it is handled under that company's privacy policy rather than this one. Those companies decide how long they keep data and who else receives it. Review the partner's own policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
Pages here link to sheriff's office pages, court portals, state agencies, legal aid services, and outside search tools. Following one of those links leaves this site, and the destination's privacy policy takes over from that point. Read it before sharing personal details.
Advertising partners may also track activity across sites to select which ads appear. That tracking happens on their systems, not on this one.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Some information can reach other parties:
- Search partners that handle the queries run here
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that place ads on these pages
- Law enforcement or government offices when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security practices are used to protect the data this site collects. No internet service can promise perfect safety, so reasonable steps are taken and no breach-free guarantee is offered.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. Personal information from anyone under 18 is not knowingly collected. Anyone who believes a minor has sent data here can ask for its removal, and it will be deleted.
Your Data Rights
Minnesota's Government Data Practices Act governs data held by state and local government offices, including the sheriff and the courts, rather than data held by a private website. That law presumes government data is public, spells out when data is private, and lets a person ask to see data about themselves. Requests about records held by Becker County offices go to those offices through the process described on this site.
For the limited data this site collects, a visitor can ask to:
- See a copy of what is held about them
- Correct information that is wrong
- Request deletion of their data
- Object to certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy can change over time. A revised version replaces this page and carries a new effective date, so check back to see how visitor information is handled.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
