Privacy Policy

This notice explains the information handled while you use Iowa Residents Directory and the choices available to you. The reference pages require no account and do not store public records about you; search entries are sent to the outside provider that runs the results.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that supplies those results. The site's own servers do not keep a search history. If you contact us, the information in your message is used to read and answer it.


Basic Server and Browser Data

The hosting service records routine log details such as IP address, browser type, page request, and time. Aggregate log review helps keep pages available and shows which parts of the reference are used. Analytics or advertising measurement may use cookies or similar tools where those services are active.


How Information Is Used

Log and message data support site operation, error review, traffic counts, and page updates. Visitor lists are not sold, and this reference does not build a profile for each reader.


Outside Records and Search Services

Links lead to Iowa agencies, county record systems, libraries, archives, and outside search tools. Each destination has its own privacy terms. This includes sponsored results, which are operated by a separate provider and do not follow this notice.


Service Providers and Disclosures

Hosting and support providers process the server logs needed to run the pages. If analytics or advertising services are in use, those providers may receive the automatic data described above. Information is also disclosed when valid legal process requires it.


Safeguards and Retention

Pages use an encrypted connection, and logs are kept only for the needs described in this notice. There are no reader accounts or passwords on the site.


Children's Information

The reference is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor has sent information, and we will review and remove it where appropriate.


Access, Correction, and Deletion Requests

Iowa Code chapter 715D, the Iowa Consumer Data Protection Act, provides rights for covered consumer personal data, subject to its scope and exceptions. Its definition excludes certain publicly available government records. Because this reference keeps little reader information, a request can usually be checked against the contact mailbox and available server logs. Use the Contact page to submit it. Iowa public records held by a state, county, or city office are controlled by that custodian, not by this site.


Policy Changes

A revised notice will appear here when this policy changes. Continued use after the posting means you accept the updated terms.
