Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or other lookup term in a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply details may be kept long enough to answer it and manage related follow-up. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Site Data
Basic technical data may be collected when a page loads. This helps measure site use, fix errors, and keep the pages working across common browsers and devices.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support analytics or advertising. A browser can block or delete cookies, but some features may act differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- Operate the site and keep pages loading reliably.
- Send search requests to the correct partner service.
- Learn which pages help visitors most.
- Find broken links, display issues, and other technical problems.
- Support ads that may be based on visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to Dubuque County jail pages, the P2C roster, Iowa Courts Online, Iowa DOC tools, VINELink, federal locators, and other resources. Public-record access in Iowa is shaped by laws such as Iowa Code Chapter 22, confidentiality rules in Iowa Code 22.7, criminal-history rules in Chapter 692, and DOC inmate-record access under Iowa Code 904.601. Once a visitor follows an outside link, the destination site's privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or similar technology to understand activity across websites. That tracking occurs through the partner's systems, not through a separate record kept by this site.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a customer list. Limited information may be available to service providers or public authorities in these situations:
- Search partners that process a visitor's lookup request.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and technical performance.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Limits
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect information connected with this site. No internet-connected system can be promised to be breach-proof, and no method of transmission or storage is fully secure.
