Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other term into a search box supplied by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email or otherwise send a message about the site, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization except when required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard technical information may be collected when pages load or when the site is used.

- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and improve page performance. You can block cookies through your browser settings, although some features or measurements may work differently after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used

Outside Websites
This site links to public rosters, Woodbury County sheriff and jail pages, Iowa Department of Corrections resources, Iowa court portals, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a Woodbury County or Iowa government office.
