Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a copy of that search. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Automatic Site Data
Standard hosting logs may contain an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps. We review totals and trends to maintain the service and understand page use. Basic analytics and, when present, advertising measurement may rely on cookies or similar tools.
What We Do With This Data
We use limited data to run the service, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. Visitor lists are not sold, and we do not create individual user profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to county and state portals, libraries, archives, and outside search providers. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy controls the information submitted there. Sponsored results are also supplied by an independent company.
Who Might See Your Data
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have a right to access, correct, or delete personal data kept by a website. The research did not identify a generally applicable Iowa comprehensive consumer-privacy statute to cite here. Because our data is limited, a request normally involves checking contact mail and available server logs. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Iowa, Dubuque County, or the City of Dubuque remain under the control of those custodians.
Updates to This Policy
Any change to this policy will be posted on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
