Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, or location into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own database.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the message and return address may be kept long enough to review and respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement applies.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical information when a page loads, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and improve page performance. You can block cookies in your browser, although some features or advertising settings may behave differently.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.

Links and Public Records
This site links to jail rosters, sheriff pages, corrections resources, court portals, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination website's own privacy notice and terms control how your information is handled.
References to Minnesota public records are general references to government data that may be available under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13. This site is not the records custodian for Renville County Jail, the Sheriff's Office, courts, or corrections agencies.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for ad measurement or interest-based advertising.

- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information connected with the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, so absolute security is not promised.
