Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A search you run in one of the boxes on this site is sent to the outside provider that operates that search. The provider processes the request and returns results under its own policy. This site does not save or keep a log of what you typed.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email this site, the message is retained so it can be answered. Messages stay with the people who run the site and are not passed to anyone outside it unless a legal requirement makes that necessary.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page here produces ordinary technical information on the server:
- The internet address your device is using
- The browser and version you opened the page with
- Your device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on each
- The site you came from, when a referrer is sent
- Timestamps for page views
Cookies and Analytics
Small files called cookies may be placed on your device to show how visitors move through the site, including which pages draw traffic and where readers leave. Analytics services roll that information into aggregate reports. You can block cookies in your browser settings, and some parts of the site may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping pages available and loading at a reasonable speed
- Passing your search request to the partner service that handles it
- Seeing which pages readers find useful and which need work
- Finding and repairing technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may relate to your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, or sell a database of warrants or personal warrant records. It publishes general guidance about where Cass County warrant records are kept and how to check them through the district court, the sheriff's Records Division, and the statewide court search. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing gathered from visitors is assembled into consumer reports or files about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes here are operated by outside companies. Anything entered into one of them is handled under that company's privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners decide how long they keep a query and with whom they share it. Read the partner's policy before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
Pages here link to court pages, sheriff's office pages, state resources, and search tools. Following one of those links takes you to a different site, and that site's privacy policy then applies to your visit. Read it before you share personal details.
Advertising partners may track activity across sites to select the ads they show. That tracking happens on their systems rather than on this one.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold here. Some information can reach:
- Search partners that handle queries run from this site
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place advertising on these pages
- Law enforcement or another government body when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security practices are used to protect what this site collects. Nothing connected to the internet is completely safe, so no promise is made that a breach can never occur. Questions about a specific concern can be sent by email.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. Personal information is not knowingly collected from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent data to this site, write in and it will be removed.
Your Data Rights
Minnesota's data practices law, the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act in Minnesota Statutes chapter 13, governs how state and local government agencies handle data about the public. It applies to government offices such as the district court and the sheriff's Records Division rather than to a private reference site, and it is the law to cite if you are asking a Cass County agency for a record. Minnesota Statutes section 13.04 also gives an individual the right to ask a government entity whether it keeps data about that person.
For data this site holds, you can:
- Ask what information is stored about you
- Ask for a correction when something is inaccurate
- Request that your data be deleted
- Object to certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as the site changes. Any revision appears on this page with a new effective date, so a return visit is the simplest way to check for updates.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
