Information You Provide
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Nicollet County Busted Mugshots does not keep a separate log of those search terms. Messages sent through a listed contact route may be retained to respond or address the request.
Contact messages are not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law or needed to protect the service, users, or others.

Cookies and similar tools help measure site use and remember certain settings. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though some features may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to operate and improve the service, respond to messages, route a search request to the selected provider, assess page usefulness, troubleshoot reliability issues, and support advertising that may be based on interests.
Outside Websites
Links can lead to county rosters, government offices, correctional systems, court tools, news outlets, and third-party search providers. Their privacy practices govern once a visitor leaves this site. Advertising partners may also collect information across websites under their own policies and controls.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a separate product. It can be processed or disclosed to the limited categories needed to provide the service or comply with a valid legal requirement.
- Search partners that receive a submitted query.
- Analytics and site-hosting providers.
- Advertising networks and measurement partners.
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Measures
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. Transmission, storage, and third-party service risks cannot be eliminated entirely.
