Information You Provide
Search entries
A name or location entered into a site search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Mahnomen County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those individual search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or another contact message, we may keep the information needed to respond. We do not disclose that message outside our organization unless the law requires it.

Independent Websites and Advertising
The site links to official rosters, sheriff and corrections resources, court portals, and third-party search tools. Once you follow a link, the destination’s privacy policy governs its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may measure activity across websites to provide interest-based advertising. That activity takes place through their own systems and policies, not as an official Mahnomen County records function.

- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve advertising.

Safeguards and Limits
We use reasonable security practices designed for the information we handle. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, however, and we cannot guarantee that a system will never experience an unauthorized access or a technical failure.
