Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Names, dates of birth, and other details submitted through a search box are sent to the outside company that runs it. That provider processes the request and returns its own results. Union County Warrant Records does not record or retain those query terms on its systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Email correspondence may be kept as needed to reply and preserve the related exchange. The operating team does not share those messages unless the law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers may receive basic technical details about that visit:
- Page-view dates and times
- The referring website, when one is reported
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help measure traffic patterns, such as popular pages and points where visits end. Analytics providers combine that activity into broader usage reports. A browser can block cookies, although doing so may change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a submitted query to the appropriate search partner
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Measuring which pages are useful or need revision
- Operating the site and maintaining its performance
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Warrant Data on File
No warrant database or personal warrant-record collection is hosted, maintained, compiled, or sold here. The site identifies how Union County records may be checked through Iowa Courts Online, the Union County Clerk of District Court, and the Union County Sheriff. The IOWA System is an agency network, not a public search offered here. This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or profiles about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes shown on some pages. Their privacy policies, not this policy, govern information entered into those tools. Each partner controls its own retention and disclosure rules. Read the applicable provider policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Iowa Courts Online, the Union County Clerk of District Court, the Union County Sheriff, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows one, the destination's privacy policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use activity across websites to select ads. Their systems perform that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be received by:
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and operation
- Advertising networks that place ads on the pages
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used security measures protect collected information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, however, so the site cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If such information is identified, a request may be made for its deletion.
Your Data Rights
Iowa privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights in addition to those listed here. Iowa Code chapter 22 governs public government records, but it does not turn data held by this private site into a Union County public record. At a minimum, you can:
- Request deletion of personal data
- Ask for correction of inaccurate information
- Obtain a copy of personal data held about you
- Opt out of some forms of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. An updated version becomes available on this page and carries a new effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.
Effective date: September 12, 2026
