Information You Submit
Partner Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool passes to the third-party provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages You Send
We keep emails or contact-form submissions as needed to respond. They are not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Automatic Technical Data
A page request may produce routine technical records:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring site, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help show how visitors use the site. Browser settings can block them, although some functions may then behave differently.
How Data Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain performance
- Send search requests to the selected provider
- Measure which pages help visitors
- Diagnose and repair technical faults
- Display advertising that may match interests
Links and Advertising
Links may lead to Clay County Sheriff and Jail pages, Iowa Courts Online, IDOC, federal locators, news sources, and outside search tools. Once you leave, that operator's privacy policy applies. Advertising partners may track activity across sites for tailored ads on their systems, not ours.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may reach:
- Search providers processing a query
- Analytics providers measuring site use
- Advertising networks delivering ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Data Security
We use standard safeguards appropriate to this site. No internet-connected service is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion where applicable
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
Notice Changes
We may revise this privacy notice. A new version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective date. Iowa public-record access under chapter 22 governs public offices, not this private site's privacy practices.
