Analytics
We collect non-personally identifiable information such as visitor behavior, browser types, and referral sources in de-personalized form to improve our site and monitor activity.
Newsletter and Email Communications
When you subscribe to our newsletter or email updates, we collect your email address and name. We use this information to send you court case updates, crime news, and occasional promotional content.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time via the unsubscribe link in each message. Transactional emails (account confirmations, subscription receipts) cannot be unsubscribed from.
Advertising
MN CRIME serves advertisements through a self-hosted advertising platform. We track ad impressions and clicks for performance reporting. Ad targeting is based on page-level context (such as county or charge type), not on individual user profiles or browsing history.
We do not sell personal information to advertisers. Advertisers receive only aggregate, anonymized performance statistics.
Data Licensing and API
Our Data Feed API logs usage data including API key identifiers, request parameters, IP addresses, and response metadata. This data is used for rate limiting, billing, and service improvement. API usage data is not shared with third parties.
Purchase Information
For subscription purchases, we collect:
- Name, email, and phone number
- Billing address
- Subscription details
Payment information is processed directly by Stripe and is never stored on our servers.
Security and Data Protection
We value your trust and take data security seriously. We use industry-standard practices including secure storage, encryption in transit (HTTPS), and regular security audits. No internet transmission method guarantees absolute security.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you
- Request corrections or updates to your information
- Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal and operational requirements
- Opt out of marketing communications
- Request export of your data in a portable format
