Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is transmitted to the independent provider that operates that tool. Johnson County Recent Arrests does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy policy governs its handling of the query and results.
Messages
Information sent in an email or contact submission is retained as needed to review and answer the message. We do not disclose it outside the organization unless doing so is required by law or necessary to process the request.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Normal website systems and service providers can record technical details when a page loads. Those details help operate and secure the service.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may measure use, remember basic preferences, or support advertising. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports limited operating purposes.
- Maintain site speed, security, and availability
- Send a chosen search to the appropriate partner
- Understand which Johnson County resource pages are useful
- Diagnose errors and misuse
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Links and Outside Services
Pages link to the Johnson County Jail roster, Sheriff’s complaint index and Records Division, IowaVINE, Iowa Courts Online, Iowa Department of Corrections resources, federal locators, news sites, and private search providers. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s own privacy rules apply.
Advertising partners may use their systems to recognize activity across websites and select ads. Their collection takes place under their policies, not as a Johnson County government service. Iowa Code chapter 22 governs access to Iowa public records, but it does not turn this private website into a public-record custodian.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Security Measures
Reasonable administrative and technical practices are used to protect information. No internet transmission, connected service, or storage method is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion through the Get in Touch page.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held by us, request correction of inaccurate information, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. A request should describe the data and the requested action. Rights can vary by jurisdiction and may be limited by legal duties.
Changes to This Notice
This Privacy Notice may be revised as services, laws, or data practices change. An updated version becomes effective when posted here with its new effective date. Continued use after posting is subject to the revised notice.
