Privacy Policy

This policy describes how Davis County Criminal History handles information associated with visits to this privately operated resource. It covers information a visitor chooses to submit, basic technical data collected during normal site use, third-party search services, and the choices available to users. This website is not a Davis County or State of Iowa agency and does not maintain government criminal records.

Effective date: July 23, 2026

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

Terms entered into a search box may be sent to the third-party company that supplies that search tool. The provider can process the name, location, or other terms entered under its own privacy policy. Do not assume a query remains only on this website.

Messages and Contact Submissions

If a visitor sends a message through an available communication channel, the submitted name, email address, message text, and related details may be retained long enough to review and respond. Submitting a message is voluntary.

Data We Gather Automatically

Normal web operation can create technical logs that include an IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, approximate location derived from network data, and visit time. This information helps operate, secure, and understand use of the site. It is not collected as a Davis County criminal-history file.

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies or similar technology may remember site preferences, measure page use, support advertising, and help identify technical problems. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though doing so may affect some functions. Analytics providers may apply their own policies to data they receive.

What We Do With This Data

Collected information may be used to deliver pages, keep the service secure, diagnose faults, measure which content is useful, respond to a submitted message, detect abuse, and meet a legal obligation. Personal information is not sold as a Davis County criminal record. It may be processed when needed for site operation or by a service provider acting for the site.

No Criminal-Record Data on File

This website does not keep a database of Davis County arrests, court cases, warrants, jail bookings, DCI histories, or Iowa Sex Offender Registry profiles. Those official records remain with their government custodians. Information entered into a third-party search tool is handled by that provider, not added to a government-record collection here.

Third-Party Search Partners

Independent companies supply some search boxes or sponsored results. They determine what information they request, how long they retain it, how their results are assembled, and whether a service has a fee. Review the provider's privacy notice before submitting a query or payment. This policy does not control a partner's separate systems.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to the Davis County government, Iowa Courts Online, Iowa DCI, Iowa DOC, the Iowa Sex Offender Registry, or other outside services. Each destination controls its own collection and security practices. Leaving this site means the destination's privacy terms govern that visit.

Who Might See Your Data

Information may be disclosed to hosting, analytics, security, advertising, or communications providers that support site operation. It may also be provided when required by lawful process, to protect rights or safety, to investigate abuse, or as part of a transfer of the website's business or assets. Data is not disclosed as an official Iowa background check.

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to reduce unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No website, network, or storage method can guarantee perfect security. Visitors should limit what they send and use official secure government channels when a record request calls for identity documents, fingerprints, payment details, or sensitive identifiers.

Users Under 18

This resource is intended for adults and is not directed to children. Personal information is not knowingly collected from a child under eighteen. If such collection is identified, reasonable steps may be taken to remove the information.

Your Data Rights

Depending on applicable law, a visitor may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of personal information held by this private website, and may be able to object to or limit certain processing. Browser privacy settings can also control cookies. These choices do not alter records maintained by Davis County, Iowa Courts, DCI, DOC, or another government office.

Iowa's government-record access rules arise under the Iowa Open Records Law, Iowa Code chapter 22. Access to and challenges of state criminal-history data are addressed in Iowa Code chapter 692. Requests concerning those official records must go to the responsible government custodian.

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised as site practices, vendors, or legal duties change. A new version becomes effective when posted with its updated effective date. Continued use after publication of a revision is governed by the revised policy.
