Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice explains what information may be collected when someone uses Stevens County Inmate Population, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. Use of this site means acceptance of these practices. Official Minnesota public-record rules, including Minnesota Government Data Practices Act concepts, govern the government agencies linked from this site, not this private site's handling of visitor data.

Data You Submit

Search Queries

When a name, location, or similar term is entered into a sponsored search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Stevens County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Automatic Technical Data

Standard web systems may collect routine technical details when pages load. Those details help operate the site, diagnose errors, measure use, and protect against abuse.

  • Internet Protocol address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
  • Referring website, when one is available.
  • Date and time stamps.

How Data Is Used

  • To keep pages available, stable, and responsive.
  • To route search requests to the proper partner tool.

Links to Other Sites

This site links to jail rosters, sheriff pages, court portals, Minnesota DOC resources, statutes such as Minn. Stat. 13.82 and 13.85, and third-party search providers. Once you leave this site, the privacy notice and data practices of the destination site control your visit.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and show targeted ads. That tracking occurs through their platforms, not through a government record system.

  • Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
