Information Submitted Directly
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the third-party provider serving that result path; our own servers do not retain a copy of the search. If you contact us, we receive the information included in the message and use it to respond.
Data We Gather Automatically
Hosting services may retain ordinary server-log information, including IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We review it in aggregate to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or comparable technology can support basic analytics and, where used, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
We use this limited information to operate the service, diagnose issues, measure traffic, and improve the reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or build individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Sherburne County or Minnesota portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their policies apply to information sent on those services, including sponsored result paths, rather than this policy.
Who Might See Your Data
Providers that host or support the service can process logs on our behalf. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information when required by valid legal process and otherwise only as needed to operate the service.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes described here. There are no user accounts, passwords, or visitor profiles maintained by this site.
Users Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has submitted information so it can be removed.
Your Data Rights
Minnesota's Consumer Data Privacy Act, Minn. Stat. §§325M.10–325M.21, provides consumer-data rights subject to its scope, exclusions, and amendments. A visitor may ask about access, correction, deletion, or opt-out rights for data this service keeps. Because the site retains little direct information, requests generally concern a contact message or log information. Use the Contact page. Public records held by Minnesota, Sherburne County, or Elk River custodians are outside our control and must be addressed to the office that holds them.
Updates to This Policy
Any revision will be posted here. Continued use after a posted revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
