Data You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other lookup detail is typed into a sponsored search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Cass County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms on this site.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and return address may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer it. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, this site may receive technical data when pages load. That information helps measure performance, diagnose errors, and understand how public-record pages are used.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages opened and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when a browser provides one.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to measure traffic, remember basic preferences, support advertising, and understand site use. A browser can block or delete cookies, but some features or partner tools may behave differently after cookies are blocked.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, fast, and readable.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To see which Cass County jail, roster, court, and locator pages are useful.
- To find broken links, display problems, or other technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be tied to general visitor interests.
Outside Links
This site links to government pages and public resources, including Cass County Sheriff's Office pages, the Cass County Jail roster PDF, Minnesota Judicial Branch resources, MNDOC, VINE, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's privacy policy and terms control the visit.
Advertising and search partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or personalize ads. That tracking occurs under the partner's policies, not under Cass County control and not as an official government process.

Personal data is not sold as a standalone list. It may be handled by limited service providers or disclosed when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process sponsored lookup queries.
- Analytics services used to measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies under a valid subpoena, warrant, court order, or similar legal demand.
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used to protect site data, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal, financial, medical, or legal strategy information through ordinary website messages.
