Information You Submit
Terms Sent Through Search
A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages You Send
If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain what you provide as needed to answer. We do not share the message outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Automatic Technical Details
Routine server and analytics records may collect technical information when a page loads, including:
- Your Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookie Use
Cookies help us understand site use and remember basic preferences. A browser can reject or remove them, although some functions may then work differently.
Why We Use Information
Collected information supports a limited set of operational purposes:
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending search requests to the selected partner service
- Understanding which Cass County resources visitors find useful
- Detecting faults and correcting technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests
Other Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to jail rosters, Sheriff and corrections pages, booking feeds, government portals, or outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy terms govern its collection and use of information.
Some advertising providers may measure activity across multiple websites to select ads. That processing takes place through their systems and policies, not ours.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by search partners that process a query, analytics providers, advertising networks, or law-enforcement and government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Steps Taken to Protect Data
We use customary safeguards suited to the information and services involved. No website, network, or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. These choices do not control records held by Cass County, Iowa, or a linked third party.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as practices or services change. The updated version will appear on this page with a new effective date.
