Information You Provide
Search entries
A name or location entered into a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Goodhue County Busted Mugshots does not retain those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s terms and privacy practices apply to the query once it is submitted.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information supplied may be kept to respond to the message. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

How Information Is Used
Collected information is used for normal operation and service improvement. It may also support the third-party search connection and advertising that keep the reference pages available.
- Operate and maintain the site
- Route a search request to the relevant partner
- Learn which pages readers use
- Diagnose performance and security issues
- Display advertising that may reflect inferred interests
External Services and Links
Goodhue County Busted Mugshots links to Sheriff, Adult Detention Center, police, court, Minnesota DOC, federal, and other resources. It may also link to partner tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s terms and privacy policy govern. The site does not control an outside source’s availability, records, tracking, or data practices.
Advertising partners may collect information across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Their controls and notices, rather than this notice, explain that activity.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone product. Limited information may be available to service providers that help operate the site or to entities that are legally entitled to it.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Government or law-enforcement entities responding to a valid legal order
Security and Minors
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. Do not send sensitive records through an ordinary contact message. This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request deletion.
Your Choices and Updates
A visitor may ask for a copy of personal information held through a direct contact exchange, request a correction, ask for deletion where applicable, or opt out of certain processing where the law provides that choice. Minnesota’s Government Data Practices Act governs public data held by government entities, not this private reference site.
This notice can change as the service or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date.
