Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other query is entered into a third-party search tool on this site, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. Carver County Inmate Population does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, the information in that message is used to read and answer it. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical information when a page loads, including pages that point to Carver County Jail, the MNDOC locator, Minnesota VINELink, or Minnesota Court Records Online.

- The browser name and version.
- The device category and operating system.
- The pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- Date and time stamps tied to requests.

External Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, court portals, corrections pages, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy notice and data practices of the destination website control your activity there.
Some advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through the partner's technology, not through an official Carver County government system.
