Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name or location entered in a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider operating that tool. Iowa County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact submission, we retain the information needed to answer. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server and analytics records may capture:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser type and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages visited and time spent;
- the referring website, when supplied; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block them through browser settings, although some functions may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain performance.
- Send search requests to the selected partner service.
- Understand which pages visitors find useful.
- Diagnose and correct technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Other Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to the Iowa County Sheriff and Jail, Iowa Courts Online, Iowa DOC, federal locators, government portals, news sources, or independent search providers. After you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. That tracking occurs under the provider’s practices, not as a booking-record function of this site.
Recipients of Information
We do not sell personal information. Data may be available to:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics providers;
- advertising networks; and
- law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security Measures
We use ordinary safeguards appropriate for a public website. No internet-connected service is completely secure, however, and we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has 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 correction of inaccurate data, seek deletion, or opt out of certain processing. Send the request through the Contact Us page. Iowa Code chapter 22 governs access to government records held by Iowa public bodies; it does not turn this private site into the custodian of Sheriff, jail, or court records.
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.
