Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you enter a name, location, or other term in a search box, that query is transmitted to the third-party company that operates the tool. Marion County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The search provider's handling of the query is governed by that provider's policy.
Email and Contact Messages
If you email us or submit a contact form, we retain the message and the contact details you provide so we can respond. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected During Visits
Like most websites, the site receives basic technical details when a page loads. This information may include:
- Your internet protocol address
- The browser name and version
- Your device category and operating system
- Pages opened and the time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is available
- The date and time of each request
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support certain functions. You may block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some features can work differently or become unavailable when cookies are disabled.
Purposes for Using Information
Collected information supports operation and improvement of the service. In particular, it may be used to:
- Maintain reliable and efficient page delivery
- Send search requests to the appropriate partner service
- Understand which pages visitors find useful
- Detect, diagnose, and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Privacy on Linked Services
Links may lead to the Marion County Sheriff's Office, county jail tools, booking information, Iowa Department of Corrections resources, federal or immigration locators, government portals, news outlets, and third-party search services. Iowa public-record access is governed by Iowa Code chapter 22, including its exemptions. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Some advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across different websites and select interest-based ads. That cross-site tracking occurs through the advertising partner's technology, not through records kept by Marion County Busted Mugshots.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be provided to the following parties when needed for the stated purpose:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to protect information within our control. No website, network, or internet transmission is completely secure, however. We cannot promise that data will never be accessed, altered, lost, or disclosed without authorization.
Use by People Under 18
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent, guardian, or the minor may contact us and request deletion.
Choices About Personal Data
Subject to applicable law and any necessary identity 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
- Opt out of certain forms of processing
