Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited visitor information associated with Hennepin County Residents Directory and the choices available to you. The service points to public-records and directory resources in Hennepin County, Minnesota. It does not require an account or maintain a resident profile about visitors.

Information You Submit

Search-form entries, such as a name, telephone number, or address, are sent to the separate provider that supplies results; the site’s servers do not retain a copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains the information in that message and is used to respond.


Automatic Technical Data

Hosting systems may log an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. Aggregate review helps maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics or advertising measurement may rely on cookies or comparable tools.


What We Do With This Data

The limited data supports operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page maintenance. Visitor lists are not sold, and the site does not create individual visitor profiles.


Links to Other Websites

We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.


Who Might See Your Data

The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.


How We Protect Your Data

The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.


Users Under 18

The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.


Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, obtain a copy of, or opt out of certain covered processing under the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, codified in Chapters 325M and 325O. Because this service keeps very little, a request normally involves checking the contact mailbox and available logs, then removing applicable information. Use the Contact page to make a request. Minnesota state, county, and city public records remain under their own custodians, so a correction or redaction request for those records goes to the office that holds them.


Updates to This Policy

Updates will appear here. Continued use after posting an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
