Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice explains what information may be collected when you use Nicollet County Inmate Population, how that information is used, and when it may be shared.

When you type a name, location, or similar detail into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the search box. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.

If you email us or send a message through a contact path, we use the information in that message to read it, respond, and manage the request. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal duty requires it.
