Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider operating that feature. The provider processes the query and supplies its result. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained as needed to prepare and track a response. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Normal server logs collect a small set of technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view dates and times
- Device and operating-system type
- Browser name and version
- Pages viewed and approximate visit length
- Referring website, when supplied
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure traffic, popular pages, and visitor paths. Analytics providers combine that information into site-use reports. A browser can reject cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a query to the selected search provider
- Maintaining site speed, reliability, and availability
- Diagnosing errors and other technical faults
- Measuring which content visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not compile, maintain, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The content identifies official Iron County channels, including the sheriff, Circuit Court, Missouri State Highway Patrol Central Repository, and Missouri Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report or a record about another person, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the embedded search tools. A query submitted there is governed by that provider's privacy policy and retention rules. Review those terms before entering information because we cannot set or change the provider's practices.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to official sheriff, court, and state pages as well as legal resources and outside tools. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy policy controls. Read it before sharing personal information.
Advertising providers may measure activity across websites to select ads. That processing takes place on their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be available in limited form to:
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Search providers chosen to process a submitted query
- Advertising networks serving page content
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable standard safeguards protect collected information. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so a breach can never be ruled out.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect a minor's personal information. A verified report of such data will be addressed by deleting it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable law may provide additional rights. Missouri's section 610.120 limits public access to closed government criminal records, while Chapter 610 concerns public bodies rather than this private site's visitor logs. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request deletion where the law provides that choice
- Ask what personal information is retained
- Request correction of inaccurate personal data
- Opt out of processing where an applicable rule permits it
Updates to This Policy
A revised policy will be posted here and will carry a new effective date. Visitors should review the current version when they want to understand present practices.
Effective date: July 30, 2026
