Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent directly to the third-party provider operating that tool. Davis County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's terms and privacy policy govern its handling of the query.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the message and the details you provide long enough to respond and manage the correspondence. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data and Cookies
Standard web systems may collect technical details when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring page or site, when supplied; and
- request dates and timestamps.
Cookies help measure use and support site functions. You may block or delete cookies in your browser, although some features may work differently afterward.
How Information Is Used
Collected data is used for limited operating purposes:
- keeping pages available and responsive;
- sending a search request to the selected partner;
- understanding which Davis County resources visitors use;
- detecting and correcting technical problems; and
- displaying advertising that may reflect general interests.
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to the Davis County sheriff, Iowa courts, corrections agencies, federal locators, news outlets, or third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize activity across different sites and select ads. That processing occurs on the provider's systems, not in a Davis County government record system.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may be available to search partners that process a submitted query, analytics vendors that measure traffic, advertising networks that serve ads, and law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order.
Iowa Code chapter 22 governs public records held by Iowa government bodies. It does not turn information submitted to this private site into a Davis County public-record request. Send official records requests directly to the proper custodian.
Security Has Practical Limits
Reasonable and commonly used safeguards are applied to data under our control. No website, transmission method, or connected storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, however. We do not promise that a breach or unauthorized access can never occur.
Adults Only
This site is intended for people age 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If a parent or guardian believes someone under 18 submitted data, use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may ask for a copy of personal data held by us, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion, or object to certain processing. These rights concern data controlled by this site. A sheriff, court, search partner, or news outlet applies its own process to information it controls.
Changes to This Notice
This Privacy Notice may be revised as technology, vendors, or practices change. An updated version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
