Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or date of birth entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not retain or record those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We may keep an email or other direct message long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive certain technical details when a visitor loads a page:
- Page-view times and the length of visits
- Your device's IP address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages viewed during the session
- The referring website, when one is available
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. We and our analytics services use them to understand traffic in aggregate, including popular pages and where sessions end. You can block cookies through browser controls, although doing so may change how some site features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a search request to the selected partner
- Maintaining site availability and performance
- Finding and correcting technical problems
- Measuring which pages visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Warrant Data on File
Dubuque County Warrant Records does not keep, compile, host, or sell a warrant database or personal warrant files. It explains how to reach the Iowa District Court, Dubuque County Clerk of Court, and local law-enforcement channels. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party records.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes found on some pages. Their own privacy policies govern submitted information, including retention and disclosure practices that we do not control. Read the applicable partner policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Iowa court pages, Dubuque County agencies, legal resources, or third-party tools. Once you follow an external link, the destination's policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and select targeted advertisements. We do not operate that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be available to these limited recipients:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners processing queries submitted to their tools
- Advertising networks serving material on the site
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
We use customary safeguards for information under our control. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such information, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy and consumer-protection laws may provide additional rights. Iowa Code Chapter 22 governs access to public records held by Iowa government bodies, not private records held by this website. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask for access to personal information we hold about you
- Opt out of certain processing where the law permits
- Request deletion of eligible information
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy as our practices or legal obligations change. A revised version becomes available on this page with its current effective date.
Effective date: September 12, 2026
