Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other search detail into a search box, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not operate the provider's database and does not keep its own log of those submitted search terms.
Messages to Us
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to read it, respond, and manage the request. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a law, subpoena, court order, or similar legal duty requires it.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site receives routine technical data when pages load. That data helps measure use, find errors, and keep the site working across browsers and devices.
- IP address.

- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring site or source, if one is passed to us.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some features, including partner tools or ad choices, may work differently when cookies are blocked.
How Data Is Used

Links and Outside Sites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Iowa Courts Online, Iowa DOC resources, VINELink, federal locators, ICE ODLS, public-records resources under Iowa Code Chapter 22, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination website's privacy policy and terms control its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to measure ad views, limit repeated ads, or show interest-based advertising across websites. Those activities occur on the ad partner's systems, not in an official Delaware County records system.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information as an official records product. Limited data may be available to the parties that help operate or protect the site.
- Search partners that process search-box queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order or legal obligation applies.
Security Practices
We use reasonable, standard practices to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, or loss. No internet-connected service can be made breach-proof, and we cannot promise that every transmission or stored item will always remain secure.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information to us, contact us so we can review and delete it when appropriate.
