Information You Submit
Partner Search Entries
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Anoka County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider receives the query under its own privacy terms.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or use a contact form, we retain the message and return details as needed to answer it. We do not share the message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

How Information Is Used
Collected information supports ordinary website operations and is used to:

Privacy Beyond This Website
Links may lead to the Anoka County Sheriff, Jail and Workhouse records, Minnesota Department of Corrections resources, court portals, federal locators, and outside search services. Once you follow a link, the destination’s privacy policy governs its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to associate activity across websites and select targeted ads. That tracking occurs through the partner’s systems, not a database operated by Anoka County Released Inmates.
Parties Receiving Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may still be processed or disclosed in these limited settings:
- Search partners that handle a query you submit.
- Analytics vendors that measure website use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or a government body acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to a public reference website. No internet connection, storage system, or transmission method is fully secure. We therefore cannot promise that information will never be accessed, changed, lost, or disclosed without authorization.
