Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Anything you type into a search box on this site goes directly to the outside provider that runs that tool. The provider processes the query and returns the results. This site does not keep or log the terms you enter.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send an email, the message is retained so a reply is possible. It stays with this site's team, and it is not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each page load generates technical details that the server records:
- The IP address your device is using
- The browser name and version
- Your device type and operating system
- Which pages you opened and how long each stayed on screen
- The referring site, when one exists
- A timestamp for every page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored on your device, and this site uses them to see which pages attract traffic and where readers leave. Analytics services aggregate that information. Your browser settings can block cookies at any time, though some parts of the site may behave differently when you do.
What We Do With This Data
The data serves a short list of purposes:
- Keeping the site online and loading quickly
- Passing your search request to the correct partner service
- Learning which pages help readers and which need work
- Finding and fixing technical problems
- Serving ads that may be relevant to your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant records. It publishes general guidance about where Swift County warrant records are held, including the district court in Benson, the sheriff's office, and the Minnesota public case search. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing collected about visitors is assembled into consumer reports or files about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes here are operated by outside companies. Whatever you enter into one of those tools is handled under that partner's privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners set their own retention and sharing rules, and this site does not control them. Read the partner's policy before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to court pages, sheriff's office pages, county data pages, legal aid resources, and third-party search tools. Following one of those links takes you off this site, and the destination's privacy policy then governs your visit. Read it before sharing personal details.
Some advertising partners track activity across sites to place targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not this one.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold here. Some information may reach:
- Search partners that handle the queries you run
- Analytics services that measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place advertising on these pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security practices are used to protect the data this site collects. No internet service is completely safe, so protection is a continuous effort rather than a guarantee, and a breach cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. Personal information from anyone under 18 is not knowingly collected. If a minor has submitted data, contact this site and it will be removed.
Your Data Rights
Minnesota's principal data statute, the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13), applies to government agencies rather than to a private website. Where Minnesota law gives you a right over data held by a private company, this site honors it. Regardless of what the law requires, you can:
- Ask for a copy of what this site holds about you
- Have inaccurate information corrected
- Ask for your data to be deleted
- Refuse certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change over time. A revised version appears on this page with a new effective date, so check back if you want to track how visitor information is handled.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
