Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Names, birth dates, or other terms entered in a partner search tool go to the outside company that operates it. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, we retain the message as needed to respond. We do not disclose it outside our organization unless the law requires us to do so.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers and service providers may receive routine technical details when a page loads.
- Your device's IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- The referring website, if available
- Page-view dates and times
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored on a device. We and analytics providers may use them to understand site traffic and performance. Browser settings can block cookies, though some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
Information may be used for the following operational purposes.
- Operating, securing, and improving the website
- Sending partner-tool requests to the selected provider
- Measuring which material visitors use
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Warrant Data on File
We do not host, compile, sell, or maintain a database of Cedar County warrants or personal warrant records. Our content describes official routes such as Iowa Courts Online, the Cedar County Clerk of Court, and the Sheriff's Office. Iowa Code chapter 22 governs access to Iowa public records, subject to statutory confidentiality limits. We do not create consumer reports and are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power search boxes on some pages. Information submitted through those tools is handled under the provider's privacy policy, not this one. We do not control partner retention, disclosure, pricing, or results. Review the provider's terms before submitting personal information.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Cedar County government, Iowa court portals, law-enforcement pages, or third-party tools. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy rules apply. Review them before providing data.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites or select ads. That processing occurs on their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be available to the following recipients when needed.
- Search providers that process a query you submit
- Analytics services that measure performance and traffic
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
We use customary technical and organizational safeguards for information under our control. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access or another breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied personal information, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Iowa and federal law may provide rights concerning personal information. Iowa Code chapter 22 addresses public records held by Iowa government custodians; it does not turn our private site into a government record custodian. Depending on the law that applies, you may be able to:
- Request access to personal data we hold about you
- Ask that inaccurate personal data be corrected
- Request deletion of qualifying information
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this privacy policy. A revised version becomes available on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use after an update is subject to the revised policy.
Effective date: September 12, 2026
