Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information Wright County Recent Arrests receives, how it is used, and when it may be shared. It also explains the different rules that apply after a visitor follows a link to an Iowa government portal or an independent search provider. By using this site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name, location, or other detail entered in a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Wright County Recent Arrests does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

If you email us or send a contact form, we retain the message long enough to review and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Details Collected

Ordinary server, analytics, or advertising systems may record basic technical information when a page loads, including:

  • The visitor's Internet Protocol address.
  • The browser type and version.
  • The device category and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when available.
  • The date and time of a request.

Cookies and Browser Controls

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support advertising features. A browser can reject or remove cookies, though blocking them may cause parts of the site or connected tools to work differently.


Reasons We Use Data

  • Operate the site and maintain acceptable performance.
  • Send search requests to the selected partner service.
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful.
  • Diagnose errors, abuse, and technical problems.
  • Display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.

Privacy Beyond This Site

Links may lead to the Wright County Sheriff's Office, jail information, Iowa Courts Online, Iowa Department of Corrections, other public portals, or independent search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy and Iowa public-record practices, including Iowa Code Chapter 22, govern that interaction.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select targeted ads. Their tracking does not occur on systems controlled by this site.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query.
  • Analytics providers that measure site activity.
  • Advertising networks serving or measuring ads.
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

We use customary safeguards intended to protect information within our control. No internet-connected service is entirely secure, however, and we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site 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 Contact Us page to request deletion.


Your Information Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
  • Ask that eligible information be erased.
  • Opt out of certain processing where that right applies.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal duties change. The updated text and a new effective date will be posted on this page.
