These terms set the conditions for using Bloomington Residents Directory. By using the service, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Nature of This Service

Bloomington Residents Directory is a privately operated reference service. It describes and links to public rolls, record indexes, and directory collections related to people who live or have lived in Bloomington, Minnesota. It does not host government records and is not affiliated with any office, court, or custodian.


2. Lawful Use Rules

  • Interfere with the site's operation or security

3. Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Bloomington Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Neither this service nor results from a linked search tool are consumer reports. They may not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-covered purpose.


4. Outside Services

Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, set their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for their content, availability, prices, or data practices. Minnesota consumer privacy rights for covered businesses are addressed in the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, Minn. Stat. §§ 325M.10–325M.21, effective July 31, 2025.

10. Restricting Access

We may block or limit access, without notice and at our discretion, for a person who violates these terms or misuses the service.


11. Governing Minnesota Law

Minnesota law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Government record access and classification are subject to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minn. Stat. ch. 13, and to applicable record-specific rules. Bloomington and Hennepin County custodians apply those rules to their records.
