Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a search box is used, the query may be processed by the provider that operates that tool. We do not ask for an official court file as part of a private search query, and the provider's own policy controls its processing of submitted information.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send information through a contact method that may be offered, it may include your name, email address, and the contents of the message. Use only the information needed for the inquiry. Do not send Social Security numbers, financial-account numbers, protected court material, or other sensitive identifiers.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, this resource and its service providers may receive technical information such as browser type, device information, IP address, pages viewed, referring source, and approximate time of a visit. This information is used to operate, secure, and understand site performance.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies or similar technology may remember basic preferences, measure usage, or support advertising and analytics. Browser controls can limit cookies, though doing so may affect features supplied by third-party tools.
What We Do With This Data
Information collected through the resource may be used to provide features, maintain security, respond to an inquiry, measure use, improve content, comply with legal obligations, and protect our rights. We do not use a visitor's information to create an official court record or change a judicial file.
- Operate and maintain the website and its features.
- Respond to communications where a response channel is available.
- Measure performance and improve the usefulness of site content.
- Detect misuse, fraud, or security issues.
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not host Kandiyohi court dockets, case files, orders, calendars, or the Register of Actions. Minnesota judicial-record access is governed chiefly by the Minnesota Rule of Public Access Rule 8, not by this private resource. Rule 8 controls practical inspection, copying, and remote access for judicial-branch records, and Rule 4 identifies protected or inaccessible record categories.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes or links may connect to providers that operate independently. Their privacy practices, billing, account requirements, and results are governed by their own policies. A search provider may collect information when you use its service, and we do not control that collection.
Links to Other Websites
Links to MCRO, the Minnesota Judicial Branch, Court Administration, and other resources lead to sites that are not operated by us. Review the privacy policy of each destination before providing information there. This policy does not apply once you leave this resource.
Who Might See Your Data
Information may be shared with service providers that help operate, host, secure, analyze, or support the resource, and when disclosure is required by law or needed to protect rights and safety. We do not sell court files because we do not maintain court files.
- Hosting, analytics, security, and technical-service providers.
- Third-party search providers when a visitor uses their tools.
- Authorities or other parties when disclosure is legally required.
How We Protect Your Data
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information handled through the resource. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
This resource is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If such information is believed to have been submitted, use the available contact method to request its review.
Your Data Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or information about personal data handled by this resource. Requests can be made through an available contact method. Court-file access or correction requests must instead go through Kandiyohi County District Court / Court Administration and the Minnesota judicial-access framework.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as services or legal requirements change. An updated version takes effect when posted on this page.
