Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, birth date, or other term entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. Lee County Warrant Records does not retain or log those query terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or contact submission is kept as needed to read and answer it. The message remains within the organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the site may automatically receive routine technical details about the visit:
- Page-view dates and times
- The referring website, when one is reported
- Pages opened and the time spent on them
- Device category and operating system
- Browser name and version
- The device’s assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files used to understand traffic patterns, including popular pages and points where visits end. Analytics providers help combine those measurements. A browser can block cookies, although disabling them may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating, securing, and improving page performance
- Routing a requested search to the selected outside provider
- Measuring which Lee County topics visitors use
- Diagnosing errors and other technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Warrant Data on File
Lee County Warrant Records does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of warrants or personal warrant information. It explains how public records are routed among the Iowa District Court, the Lee North and Lee South clerks, and Lee County sheriff channels. Iowa Courts Online remains an official public docket, not data held here. This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies supply the search boxes. Information submitted in one of those boxes is governed by that provider’s privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its own retention and disclosure practices. Read those terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Lee County Sheriff, Iowa Judicial Branch, Iowa Courts Online, legal-aid resources, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination’s privacy policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use activity across websites to select ads. Their own systems perform that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Advertising networks that display page advertisements
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Outside search providers processing a submitted query
- A government or law-enforcement body 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, so a breach cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Information identified as a minor’s submission will be deleted when requested and verified.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary by residence and applicable law. Iowa Open Records Law, Iowa Code chapter 22, governs access to public records held by government bodies; it does not turn this private website into a government record custodian. Subject to applicable private-data law, a visitor may:
- Request access to personal data held about you
- Seek correction of inaccurate information
- Ask for deletion where the law permits it
- Decline eligible forms of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A replacement takes effect when it is posted here with a new effective date.
Effective date: September 12, 2026
