Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, county, or location is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Crawford County Inmate Population does not keep a separate local log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to review and respond. We do not share contact messages outside our operation unless a valid legal requirement calls for it.

Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics tools. You can block cookies through your browser settings, but some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used

Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail resources, court portals, Iowa DOC tools, federal locators, and third-party search services. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the outside website controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits or show interest-based ads across websites. That tracking occurs under their policies, not this one.

We do not sell personal data. Information may be available to limited service providers or authorities in these situations.
- Search partners that process search requests.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security Measures
We use reasonable security practices for a public website. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, so no absolute security promise is made.
