Information You Choose to Send
We receive information that a visitor knowingly submits. A message sent through the Get in Touch page can include a name, email address, and the text of the request. Please do not send private identifiers or confidential records that are not needed to explain the question.
Search terms
A query entered into a search feature is passed to the outside search provider that processes it. The partner receives the terms needed to return results and applies its own privacy rules. Clinton County Busted Mugshots does not receive or store the official Clinton County Jail, Sheriff, Iowa Department of Corrections, federal, or ICE records displayed by another service.
Details Collected Automatically
Routine technical logs and measurement tools may collect information when a page loads. That data helps operate the service, understand traffic, and diagnose errors.

Cookies and similar tools
Cookies may help measure how visitors move through the site, remember basic preferences, and support advertising. Browser controls can block or clear cookies. Some functions may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used to keep pages available and responsive, route a search to the appropriate partner, learn which Clinton County record resources visitors find useful, detect and repair technical faults, protect the service, answer submitted messages, and display advertising that may be based on interests. We do not use a contact message to alter an official jail, court, police, or corrections record because those files remain with the government office that created them.
Links and Outside Services
Links may lead to the Clinton County Sheriff’s roster, Clinton County Jail information, municipal police pages, Iowa Courts Online, the Iowa Department of Corrections, federal or ICE locators, legal resources, news outlets, and outside search providers. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy policy and terms control its collection and use of data.
Advertising companies may use their systems to observe activity across websites and select ads. Their tracking takes place under their technology and policies, not as an official function of Clinton County or any law-enforcement agency.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to service providers that need it to perform the functions described here.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that deliver and assess ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when disclosure is required by a valid legal order
Providers receive only the information involved in their role, subject to their agreements and policies.
Security Is a Shared Limit
Reasonable administrative and technical practices are used to protect information. No website, network transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, or disclosed through an incident beyond reasonable safeguards.
Adults Only
Clinton County Busted Mugshots is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the law and the type of information involved, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held by this site, request correction of inaccurate information, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. A browser can also limit cookies and related controls. These rights concern data held by this private site. Requests about a Sheriff, jail, police, court, IDOC, federal, or ICE record must go to that record’s custodian.
Iowa Code chapter 22 governs access to Iowa government records and its exceptions, but it does not turn this private site into the custodian of Clinton County records.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as services, vendors, or legal requirements change. A new version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use after posting is subject to the revised notice.
