Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered into a third-party search widget is handled by the provider that operates that widget. Mower County Court Docket does not maintain a local court-record database or keep the case name or number entered in that external tool.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If an email is sent to the operator, the message and contact details may be retained to respond or maintain the correspondence. They are not used to create a court-file profile.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, the hosting and analytics systems may receive technical visit information.
- Internet protocol address and browser type
- Device and operating-system information
- Pages viewed and approximate visit duration
- Referring page when one is supplied
- Date and time of the request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics may help measure traffic, maintain site functions, and identify technical problems. Browser controls can limit cookies, although some page functions may then operate differently.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and communication data may be used to operate and improve the resource.
- Maintain site delivery and security
- Respond to an operator contact
- Measure aggregate traffic and page performance
- Diagnose service errors
- Support advertising or referral arrangements where applicable
No Court-Record Data on File
Mower County Court Docket does not host, compile, sell, or maintain court dockets, court files, or personal case-record databases. The official Mower court record path is MCRO, the courthouse public-access system, or Mower Court Administration. Judicial access is governed by the Minnesota Rules of Public Access to Records of the Judicial Branch, including Rules 2 and 8. Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minn. Stat. §13.03, concerns government data held by county and city agencies and does not make this private resource a records custodian.
Third-Party Search Partners
Third-party widget providers apply their own privacy notices, retention practices, and service terms to information submitted in their products. Review the provider’s policy before submitting a query. The operator does not control the provider’s results or data practices.
Links to Other Websites
Links to Minnesota Judicial Branch, Mower County, city, or other resources move a visitor to another website. That destination’s privacy statement controls the visit after the link is opened.
Advertising or analytics providers may use their own technology for measurement or ad delivery. Their activity is governed by their policies, not this one.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited data can be processed by service providers needed to run the resource or when law requires disclosure.
- Search-widget providers for a query submitted to their tools
- Analytics or hosting providers used for site operation
- Advertising providers that serve site placements
- Authorities responding to a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable operational safeguards are used for data handled by the site. No online system can promise complete security, so visitors should avoid sending sensitive case information in an ordinary message unless an official office specifically directs that method.
Users Under 18
The resource is intended for adult visitors. It does not knowingly collect personal information from a child. A parent or guardian who believes a child supplied personal information may contact the operator to request deletion.
Your Data Rights
Visitors can ask about information held in an operator correspondence record, request a correction, or request deletion where legally permitted. Minn. Stat. §13.03 establishes public-data access rules for Minnesota government entities; official court records follow the Judicial Branch public-access rules rather than this private site policy.
- Request information held in an operator contact record
- Identify information believed to be inaccurate
- Ask for deletion when retention is not required
- Limit communications from the operator
Updates to This Policy
The policy may be revised as site practices change. The current version appears on this page, and a material update will receive a new effective date.
Effective date: August 27, 2026
