Data You Give Directly
Search Queries
A search phrase or form entry can be sent to the provider operating a search tool. The site does not operate MCRO or retain the official court record returned by a court channel.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a message is sent through a site contact method, the information provided in that message may be used to respond or maintain the request.
Data Gathered Automatically
Like many websites, the service may receive technical and usage details as pages are requested.
- Device IP address
- Browser and browser version
- Device type and operating system
- Visited pages and visit duration
- Referral source, where available
- Page-view timestamps
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies or similar tools may support site functions, traffic measurement, and advertising. Browser controls can limit some cookies, though that can affect services that rely on them.
How Data Is Used
Technical and usage data may be used to operate, secure, improve, and measure the service, route a request to a partner tool, and support advertising.
- Maintain site performance and availability
- Address technical problems
- Measure page use and performance
- Direct a submitted search to the chosen service
- Provide advertising that may be relevant to visitors
No Court-Record Data on File
The site does not maintain the official Swift County court docket, judicial case files, or court calendars. MCRO and Swift County District Court Administration control their own records and access practices. Minnesota's Rules of Public Access to Records of the Judicial Branch, including Rule 8, govern access to Judicial Branch records; Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13 addresses county-government data and does not turn a court file into a site-held record.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search widgets and outside links can lead to services run by other organizations. Those organizations have their own privacy notices, security practices, charges, and data rules. Review their terms before providing information through their tools.
Links to Other Websites
Official Minnesota Judicial Branch, Swift County, and other external links leave this service. The operators of those sites decide their content and privacy practices, and this policy does not govern them.
Who May Receive Data
Information may be shared where needed to run the service or when law requires disclosure.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers used for site measurement
- Advertising networks serving page ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal requirement
How Data Is Protected
Reasonable safeguards are used for the service, but no internet transmission or stored system can be guaranteed fully secure. Do not send sensitive case material to a private reference resource when the court or official agency is the proper recipient.
Users Under 18
The service is not intended to collect personal information from children. Minnesota juvenile court records have special access limits under Minn. Stat. §260B.171, and official court channels should be used for questions about those records.
Your Data Rights
Depending on applicable law, a visitor may ask about information retained in connection with use of this service.
- Request access to retained personal information
- Ask for correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion where applicable
- Object to certain processing where a legal right applies
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as the service, legal requirements, or outside tools change. The version posted here applies when it is published.
