Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or birth date entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. This site does not retain those search terms in its own records.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Email sent directly to the site may be retained to prepare a response. It is not disclosed outside the operating team unless a valid legal duty requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
A page request can provide the servers with routine technical details about a visit:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files used to understand aggregate traffic, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers help compile those measurements. Browser controls can block cookies, but doing so may alter how some features behave.
What We Do With This Data
Information described above may support ordinary operation and improvement of the service, including:
- Maintaining reliable and timely page delivery
- Routing search requests to the chosen outside provider
- Measuring which material visitors use
- Diagnosing faults and performance problems
- Presenting advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Warrant Data on File
No database of warrants or personal warrant records is hosted, compiled, maintained, or sold here. Jones County guidance points readers to Iowa Courts Online, the Jones County Clerk of Court, and the Sheriff's Office. Iowa has no single public statewide warrant registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes shown here. Their own privacy terms control submitted information, retention, and disclosure. Those practices are outside our control, so review the applicable provider policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Jones County Sheriff's Office, Iowa Judicial Branch services, legal resources, or outside search providers. After leaving this site, the destination's privacy terms govern. Review them before providing personal information.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. But nothing connected to the internet is bulletproof. We do what we can to keep your information secure, though we cannot promise a breach will never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has shared data with us, reach out and we'll delete it right away.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Iowa privacy and consumer-protection law may provide additional rights. The Iowa Open Records Law, Iowa Code chapter 22, governs records held by Iowa government custodians; it does not convert this private site's data into a county record. Depending on the law that applies, a user may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This privacy policy may be revised when practices or legal duties change. A revised version will appear here with its current effective date.
