- the referring page or site, when available; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies help us understand site use. You can block or remove them through browser settings, although doing so may change how some features work.
How the Information Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
- Send a submitted search to the selected partner service.
- Understand which guides visitors use.
- Diagnose errors and other technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be based on interests.
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to sheriff and jail pages, government portals, court or corrections systems, custody locators, and third-party research tools. The destination’s privacy terms apply after you leave this site.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select targeted ads. Their collection does not occur as a record maintained by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by search partners processing a query, analytics providers, advertising networks, or a law-enforcement or government body acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect information. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, you may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request a correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. Iowa public-record access is separately governed by Iowa Code chapter 22 and the agency holding the record, not this private site.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as practices or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with its updated effective date.
