Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the independent provider that supplies the resulting service. Our servers do not retain a copy of those search terms. If you contact us, we receive the contents of that communication and use them to respond.
Automatically Collected Information
Like most hosted sites, our service providers may record routine technical logs, including an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We use aggregate information to maintain the service and understand broad page use. Cookies or similar tools can support basic analytics and, where present, advertising measurement.
How We Use Information
We use the limited information described above to run the site, correct technical problems, measure general traffic, and improve reference content. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
Links on this site lead to county and state portals, historical collections, archives, and independent search services. Their own policies govern any information you provide after leaving this site. That includes the provider associated with sponsored search results.
Who Processes Site Data
Hosting and support providers process the technical logs needed to operate the site. Analytics or advertising providers may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information when a valid legal obligation requires disclosure and otherwise only as described in this policy.
Security and Retention
The site uses an encrypted connection, and ordinary logs are retained only for the operational purposes stated here. Because the site has no user accounts, it does not keep a visitor password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If you believe a minor provided us information, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Minnesota Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law, a person may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or other treatment of personal data held by a private controller. The Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, Minn. Stat. ch. 325M, became effective July 31, 2025 for covered controllers and includes rights subject to its terms, exceptions, and verification rules. Because this site keeps very little visitor information, a request usually concerns a contact message or operational log. Use the Contact page to make a request. Government records held by Burnsville, Dakota County, or Minnesota custodians are not controlled by this site; requests about those records belong with the appropriate agency.
Changes to This Policy
Any revision will appear on this page. Continuing to use the site after a revised policy is posted means you accept the updated policy.
