Information You Send
Search entries
When you enter a name, location, or similar term into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Renville County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information you provide so we can respond. We do not share that message outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.

How We Use Information

Official and Outside Links
Renville County Busted Mugshots links to official jail and custody systems, sheriff pages, city police pages, court portals, corrections resources, and some third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the receiving service's own privacy policy and rules control its data practices.
Advertising partners may also collect information about activity across websites on their own systems to deliver interest-based advertising. We do not control those partners' practices.
Recipients of Information
We do not sell personal information. Depending on the service you use and the reason for disclosure, information may be received by the following parties.
- Search providers that process a submitted query.
- Analytics vendors that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that support the site.
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable, best-effort safeguards suited to the service, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. We cannot guarantee that communications or stored information will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor submitted personal information to us, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

Requests for government data are different. Minnesota's Government Data Practices Act, Minn. Stat. ยง 13.03, applies to requests made to the government agency that holds the record. This private site neither receives nor decides those requests.
Policy Changes
We may revise this policy as the site or applicable practices change. Any revised version will appear here with an updated effective date, and continued use after posting means the revised policy applies.
