This is a privately owned reference with no tie to a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers FCRA-covered credit, employment, insurance, or tenant-screening services. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
Purpose and Independence
The site points visitors toward Cerro Gordo County and Iowa jail, police, court, and corrections resources, along with outside research tools. It stores no official record and cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a document.
Acceptable Use Rules
Access is conditioned on lawful and responsible use.
- Do not break a law or use information to stalk, threaten, or harass.
- Do not base hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or similar decisions on site content.
- Do not seek unauthorized access to the site or another system.
- Do not run automated scrapers, bots, or bulk collection tools.
- Do not interfere with service or another visitor's access.
No Consumer Reports
This publisher is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and provides no background check, credit report, or consumer report. Neither the site nor its advertising partners supplies screening services. Information may not be used for hiring or firing, tenant or housing review, creditworthiness, insurance premiums, licensing, permits, government-program eligibility, or any other FCRA-regulated purpose.
Outside Links and Services
Links may lead to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, legal resources, news outlets, and outside search providers. A link is not an endorsement. This site is not responsible for another service's content, uptime, prices, security, privacy, or data handling. Read the destination's own terms before using it.
Service Provided As Is
The site and linked information are offered “as is” and “as available.” No warranty is made that content is accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that a partner search is thorough. Custody and public records can change at any time, and nothing here is an official government statement.
Limits on Liability
To the fullest extent Iowa law permits, the site and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from access, inability to access, reliance on content, or use of an outside service.
Your Duty to Indemnify
A user agrees to defend and hold the site, its operators, and partners harmless from claims, losses, and reasonable legal costs caused by that user's conduct, misuse, or breach of these terms.
Intellectual Property
Original text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to Cerro Gordo County Busted Mugshots or the stated content partner. They may not be copied, changed, republished, or distributed without written permission, except as law allows.
Updates and Access
These terms may change, and a revised version takes effect when posted. Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any lawful reason, without advance notice.
Iowa Law Governs
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Iowa.
Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid, the remaining provisions stay in effect. The affected term will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
