Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The partner processes the name or date of birth and supplies its result; we do not keep a local log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to answer and manage the correspondence. It is kept within the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page can automatically provide routine technical and usage details:
- 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 stored by the browser help measure aggregate use, including popular pages and exit points. Analytics vendors may process those measurements. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how parts of the site function.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Warrant Data on File
We do not host, sell, maintain, or compile a database of warrants or personal warrant records. The site explains where Crawford County records are kept and how the Clerk of Court, Iowa Courts Online, and sheriff channels work. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party case files.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention choices, and sharing rules govern information submitted to them. Review the applicable partner policy before entering a query because this policy does not control that processing.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Crawford County Sheriff's Office, Iowa court portals, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read it before supplying personal data.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. We do not operate that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be disclosed to:
- 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
Reasonable security practices are used for collected data, but no internet-connected service can guarantee perfect protection or rule out every breach.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A verified report of a minor's submitted data will be addressed by deleting it.
Your Data Rights
Iowa law, including Iowa Code chapter 22 where public records are involved, may affect access to government-held information. For data handled by this private site, you can at a minimum:
- 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
A revised policy will be posted here and identified by a new effective date. Review this page periodically for changes to the handling practices.
Effective date: September 12, 2026
