Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a search term into a search tool displayed here, the input is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query under its own terms and privacy practices. Murray County Court Docket does not maintain a local log of the words entered into that tool.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends a message, the message and contact details may be retained to respond and maintain the correspondence. They are not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most web services, the servers and service providers may receive technical information connected with a visit. That information can include:
- The device’s IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on those pages.
- The referring page, when one is supplied.
- Visit timestamps.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed by a browser. They may be used to understand general traffic patterns, such as which pages are viewed and how users move through the resource. Analytics providers may process aggregated usage information. Browser settings can block or limit cookies, although some functions may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and message information is used for ordinary operation, support, and measurement of the resource. Uses may include:
- Operating and securing the service.
- Routing a search request to its outside provider.
- Reviewing broad traffic and performance patterns.
- Diagnosing and correcting technical problems.
- Delivering advertising where applicable.
No Court-Record Data on File
This resource does not host, compile, sell, or maintain a database of Murray County court dockets or personal case files. Its content points to the official places that hold those records, including Murray County District Court Administration and Minnesota Court Records Online. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report.
Judicial-record access is governed by the court’s own rules. Minnesota Rule of Public Access 8 addresses public inspection, copying, and remote access, while Rule 4 identifies inaccessible records and protective restrictions. Those rules do not alter this policy’s treatment of visitor information.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes may be supplied by outside companies. Information entered in those tools is governed by the provider’s privacy policy, data-retention practices, and terms. Murray County Court Docket does not control the provider’s results, fees, or handling of submitted information. Review the provider’s policy before sending data through its service.
Links to Other Websites
Links to Minnesota Judicial Branch pages, MCRO, court forms, statutes, city offices, and other resources take a visitor to a different service. The linked organization’s privacy policy governs activity after leaving this resource. Review that policy before providing personal information to the other service.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity or display advertising. That processing occurs on the provider’s systems and is subject to its terms.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited information may be handled by service providers that help operate the resource or by a government body when a valid legal demand requires disclosure. That may include:
- Search providers that receive a query submitted through their tool.
- Analytics providers used to measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising providers that place content on the pages.
- Government bodies acting under a valid legal requirement.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information handled by the resource. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security. Visitors should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information through a message or a third-party search tool.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor has provided information, they may contact the operator to request its removal.
Your Data Rights
A visitor may ask about personal information held in a direct message, request correction of inaccurate contact information, request deletion where retention is not required, or object to certain processing. This policy does not create a right to obtain or alter a Minnesota court record. Access to a judicial record remains subject to Minnesota Rule of Public Access 8, Rule 4, and the court that maintains the record.
- Ask what personal contact information is retained from a direct message.
- Request correction of an inaccurate detail.
- Request deletion of information where it is not required for a legal or operational purpose.
- Ask questions about the processing of a direct submission.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or services change. A revised version will be posted here with a new effective date. The current policy should be reviewed when a visitor wants to understand the practices in effect at that time.
Effective date: August 27, 2026
