Privacy Notice

This notice explains what data may be collected when you use Iowa County Recent Arrests, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By continuing to use the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

Search terms

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages

An email or contact-form message may be retained so we can respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Automatic Technical Data

Standard server and analytics tools may record technical details when a page loads, including:

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • The referring site, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block them in your browser, though some functions may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected data supports site operation and service delivery. It may be used to:

  • Maintain performance and availability
  • Send a query to the selected search partner
  • Understand which pages help visitors
  • Detect and repair technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect user interests

Policies on Linked Sites

Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, custody tools, government portals, and outside search services. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy applies.

Advertising partners may track activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours.


Limited Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data. Information may be available to:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard safeguards appropriate to an informational website. No internet-connected service is fully secure, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
