Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party company providing those results; our servers do not retain a copy of the search. If you contact us, we receive the contents of that message and use them to respond.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard hosting logs can include an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate patterns to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or related tools may be used for basic analytics and, when present, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
Operating the site, fixing problems, counting traffic, improving pages. We do not sell visitor lists and we do not build profiles of individual users.
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
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by a website. Iowa has not enacted a broad consumer privacy statute comparable to those in some states, but other applicable laws may provide specific rights. Because we keep little data, requests generally involve our contact mailbox and server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Iowa, Scott County, or Bettendorf offices are beyond our control; questions about those records must go to the custodian.
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.
