Information You Submit
A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies those results. We do not retain a copy of that query on our servers. When you contact us, we receive the details included in your message and use them to answer.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, requested page, and time of access. We review grouped traffic to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and advertising measurement may also rely on cookies or similar tools where applicable.
How Information Is Used
We use limited visitor data to operate the service, diagnose errors, measure traffic, and improve content. We neither sell lists of visitors nor assemble individual user profiles.
Privacy on Linked Services
County portals, Iowa agency sites, libraries, archives, and search providers apply their own privacy terms. Information submitted after following a link is governed by the destination's policy. Sponsored results are also delivered by an outside provider.
Who Might See Your Data
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Privacy Choices
Applicable law may provide a right to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data that a website maintains. Iowa public records are separately governed by Iowa Code chapter 22, including section 22.7 confidentiality categories and section 22.11 fair-information practices. Restricted vital records follow Iowa Code section 144.43, and motor-vehicle personal information is limited by Iowa Code section 321.11 and federal law. To ask about data in our contact mailbox or logs, use the Contact page. Requests concerning city, county, court, or state records must go to the appropriate custodian.
