Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search
A name and location entered in a search box pass to the third-party company that operates the tool. Pipestone County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy governs its handling of the query.
Emails and Other Messages
If you send an email or contact submission, we retain the information needed to review and answer it. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, server and analytics systems may record basic technical details when a page loads.
- The visitor's Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and software version
- Device class and operating system
- Pages opened and time spent on them
- The referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps for the visit
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how people move through the site. A browser can reject or erase them, though blocking cookies may cause some tools or preferences to work differently.
Reasons the Data Is Used
Collected information supports ordinary site operations and service analysis.
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send search requests to the selected partner
- Measure which Pipestone County resources help visitors
- Detect errors and repair technical problems
- Present advertising that may reflect general interests
Government and Outside Links
Links may lead to Pipestone County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, Minnesota portals, or third-party search tools. Once opened, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising companies may also track activity across websites to select ads. That tracking occurs within their services, not as an official Pipestone County government activity.

- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics vendors that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Practical Security Limits
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards help protect information. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, however, and this site does not claim that a breach is impossible.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us to request its deletion.
Choices About Personal Data
Subject to applicable law and the data actually held, a person may make the following requests.
