Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Terms entered in an outside search tool go to the provider operating that tool. We do not keep those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained to answer it. We do not disclose it outside the organization unless the law requires that disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Server logs may record an IP address, browser and version, operating system, device type, referring page, pages viewed, time spent, and view timestamps.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics help measure traffic and site use. A browser can block cookies, though some functions may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
Collected technical data may support site operation, speed, partner-query routing, audience measurement, advertising, security, and troubleshooting.
No Warrant Data on File
We do not host, compile, maintain, or sell personal warrant databases. Montgomery County court information remains with Iowa District Court and the Clerk, while agency records remain with the Sheriff or other lawful custodian. Visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports, and we are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies process input submitted through their tools under their own privacy terms. Their retention, sharing, prices, and results are beyond our control, so review the provider's policy first.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Iowa courts, Montgomery County offices, legal resources, and outside services. The destination's policy governs after departure. Advertising partners may also use their systems to measure activity across sites.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Search providers, analytics vendors, ad networks, and government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order may receive limited data for their stated functions.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable standard safeguards are used, but no internet service can promise perfect security or guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect a minor's personal data and will remove such data after receiving a valid request.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Iowa privacy and consumer-protection law may provide additional rights. Iowa Code chapter 22 governs access to government records, not private visitor-data requests. A user may ask to access, correct, delete, or limit certain processing of personal data we hold, subject to law and verification.
Updates to This Policy
A revised policy will be posted here with a new date. Continued use after a revision means the updated terms apply.
Effective date: September 12, 2026
