Information You Submit
Search terms
A name or location entered into a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
An email or contact submission may be retained long enough to answer it and maintain the exchange. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
Routine logs can record an IP address, browser and version, device and operating system, pages viewed, time spent, referring page, and timestamps. Cookies help measure use and support site features. A browser can reject cookies, though parts of the experience may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected data may be used to operate and improve the site, send a search to the selected partner, learn which material is useful, diagnose faults, protect services, and show advertising that may match a visitor's interests.
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links lead to Cerro Gordo County jail and sheriff pages, city police resources, Iowa court and corrections portals, federal locators, news outlets, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy terms control. Advertising partners may also measure activity across sites through their own systems.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may reach search partners processing a query, analytics providers, advertising networks, and law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Has Limits
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet service or storage method can be promised as fully secure. This notice does not guarantee that a breach is impossible.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the contact route to request deletion if a minor submitted data.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held here, request a correction or erasure, or object to certain processing. Some information may need to be retained for legal or security reasons.
Changes to This Notice
This policy may be revised as practices or services change. An updated version takes effect when posted with a new effective date.
