Information You Submit
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered in a search form are sent to the third-party results provider. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. When you contact us, we receive the details in that message and use them to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate traffic to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement when applicable.
How Information Is Used
Information supports site operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We neither sell visitor lists nor create individual user profiles.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to county and state records portals, library collections, archives, and third-party search tools. Their privacy policies, not ours, govern what you submit there. That is especially true of the sponsored search results, which a third-party company provides.
Who Might See Your Data
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights to access, correct, or delete personal data depend on the law that applies where you live. Iowa's Consumer Data Protection Act, Iowa Code chapter 715D, governs covered controllers, while Iowa Code chapter 22 governs access to public records. Because we retain little information, a request normally involves checking contact mail and available server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Iowa, Polk County, or Ankeny remain under the custodian's control.
Updates to This Policy
Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
