Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected through this site, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By using Cerro Gordo County Recent Arrests, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

A name, location, or other query entered into an embedded search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.

Messages

If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain it as needed to answer. We do not share a message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatically Collected Details

Standard technical data may be recorded when a page loads. This may include:

  • Your internet protocol address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when available.
  • Date and time information.

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block them through browser settings, though certain features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports the site’s operation and may be used to:

  • Keep pages available and responsive.
  • Send search requests to the selected partner service.
  • Understand which resources visitors find useful.
  • Detect and correct technical faults.

Links Beyond This Site

Links lead to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, booking reports, and outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy rules apply.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and choose targeted advertising. Their tracking occurs under their policies, not this notice.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks.
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.

Security Practices

We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect information. No website, network, or internet transmission is fully secure, however, and we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, use the Contacts page to request its deletion.

Subject to applicable law and verification, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Ask that eligible personal data be erased.
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing.
