Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, date of birth, or other query entered in a search tool is transmitted directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results; we do not retain or record those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or other direct message as needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive basic technical information when a page loads, including:
- 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 files placed on a device to help measure site use, such as popular pages and exit points. Analytics vendors aggregate that traffic information. A browser can block cookies, although disabling them may change how portions 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, maintain, assemble, or sell a warrant database or personal warrant-record files. Our Harrison County material explains the public Iowa Courts Online route and the official Clerk of Court and Sheriff’s Office contacts. Visitor information is not used to create consumer reports or dossiers about other people, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes shown on some pages. Their privacy policies, retention rules, and sharing practices govern information submitted to them. Review the applicable provider policy before entering a query because we do not control those practices.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Harrison County Sheriff, Iowa Judicial Branch resources, legal-aid organizations, or commercial search providers. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy terms apply. Read them before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and select targeted advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It 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
We use customary safeguards for information under our control. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, so a breach cannot be ruled out despite those measures.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If such information is identified, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy and consumer-protection rules may provide additional rights. Iowa Code chapter 22 governs access to Iowa public records, including statutory confidentiality limits, but it does not convert this private website into a government record custodian. At a minimum, you 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
We may revise this policy. A revision becomes available here with an updated effective date, so visitors should review this page periodically.
Effective date: September 12, 2026
