Information You Submit
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy rules apply to its processing.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share a message outside the organization unless doing so is required by law.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, and advertising technologies may record technical details when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser type and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring website, when supplied; and
- visit dates and timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies help measure how pages are used and support site functions. A browser can reject or remove cookies, though blocking them may cause some features to work differently.
How Information Is Used

External Websites and Advertising
Links on this site lead to Linn County jail and sheriff resources, city arrest reports, Iowa court and corrections portals, federal locators, and independent search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy notice governs its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and select targeted advertisements. That tracking occurs on their systems and is governed by their policies.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to:
- search partners that process a submitted query;
- analytics providers measuring site use;
- advertising networks delivering ads; and
- law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal demand requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
