Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Information entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query under its own policy. This resource does not maintain a visitor-facing database of the search terms submitted through those tools.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Messages sent directly to this resource may be retained to respond or manage the correspondence. They are not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Standard server and analytics records may collect technical information about a visit, including:
- IP address and connection information
- Browser type, version, device, and operating system
- Pages viewed, timestamps, and approximate visit duration
- The referring page or service, when available
- Technical logs used to diagnose service performance
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed by a browser. They may support traffic measurement, page performance, and advertising services. Browser settings can block or limit cookies, although some functions may behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate, secure, and improve the site.
- Route a submitted query to the relevant partner tool.
- Measure aggregate traffic and page performance.
- Identify and correct technical problems.
- Support advertising and referral services where used.
No Court-Record Data on File
Clay County Court Docket does not host, compile, or sell a database of court dockets or personal case files. Its content identifies official sources, including Clay County Court Administration, Clay County District Court, and MCRO. Minnesota Rules of Public Access Rules 2, 4, and 8 subdivision 2 control access to Judicial Branch records, while Minn. Stat. § 13.84 addresses specified court-services data. Those court-access rules do not create a private database here.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside providers operate the search boxes that appear on some pages. Information entered there is governed by the provider's privacy, retention, and sharing practices. Review that provider's terms before submitting any personal information.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Minnesota Judicial Branch pages, MCRO, Minnesota eFile & eServe, Clay County offices, or third-party services. Their policies apply after a visitor leaves this resource. Read the destination policy before sharing information.
Advertising providers may also collect data across sites for interest-based advertising through their own systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. Depending on the service used, limited information may be handled by:
- Search providers that receive a query.
- Analytics vendors used for aggregate performance information.
- Advertising services that place content on the pages.
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal obligation requires disclosure.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information within this resource's control. Internet transmission and storage still carry risk, so absolute security cannot be promised.
