Information You Enter
Search Queries
Names, counties, or other search terms typed into a search box may be sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own roster or case database.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to answer it, handle a support issue, or document the exchange. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical information when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- Referring page or site, if one is passed.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, keep features working, and support ads or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may behave differently after they are blocked.
How Information Is Used
- Keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- Route searches to partner services when a search tool is used.

Outside Websites
Links may point to Faribault County pages, sheriff resources, MCRO, Minnesota DOC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, advertising partners, and third-party search tools. After leaving this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination site control.
Some ad partners may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure ads or tailor messages across websites. That tracking takes place on their systems, not in a Faribault County government record system.

- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by valid legal order.
Security
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information handled through this site. No internet-connected service can be promised as breach-proof, and no security practice can remove every risk.
