Information You Choose to Send
Queries Sent to Search Partners
A name, place, or other term entered in a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Crawford County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy governs its copy.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Normal web systems can record technical details when a page loads. These records help operate and protect the service.
- Your Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help show how visitors use the site and support site or advertising functions. You may block or remove cookies through browser controls, though some features may then work differently.
Reasons We Use Data
Information is used for limited operating and analysis needs.
- Keep pages available, secure, and responsive
- Send a search request to the selected partner service
- Understand which Crawford County resources visitors use
- Detect errors, abuse, and technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Privacy on Linked Services
Links may lead to the Crawford County Sheriff, Iowa Courts Online, IowaVINE, Iowa Department of Corrections, federal locators, news outlets, and outside search tools. The destination's privacy terms apply after you leave this site.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. Their collection occurs under their controls, not ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
Data may be available to service providers only as needed for their role.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver and assess ads
- Hosting and technical vendors supporting operations
- Law-enforcement or government authorities when a valid legal order requires it
We do not sell contact messages as a list.
Reasonable Security Measures
Administrative and technical safeguards are used in an effort to protect information. No website, network, or storage method is perfectly secure, so absolute protection cannot be promised.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The service is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly seek personal information from minors. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information should use the Contact Us page.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law, you may ask to know, correct, or delete personal information we control, or object to certain processing. Browser settings can manage cookies, and advertising providers may offer their own opt-out controls. Iowa Code chapter 22 governs requests for public records held by Iowa agencies; it does not grant this private site control over Crawford County government records.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may change as services or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted here. Continued use after publication means the updated practices apply.
