NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a local, Iowa, or federal agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to route readers to Clarke County and Iowa criminal-record resources. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government connection. It does not keep official criminal records, retrieve them, perform official checks, or submit filings for a visitor.
Its content points to the Clarke County Sheriff, Iowa District Court, Iowa DCI repository, Iowa Sex Offender Registry, and outside tools that may assist with research.
2. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Use automated bots or scrapers against site pages
- Threaten, stalk, or harass anyone with information found here
- Use site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Violate any applicable local, Iowa, or federal law
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
- Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from the site or a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate against a person. Iowa Sex Offender Registry information carries especially strict use limits under Iowa Code chapter 692A. It exists for public safety awareness, not vigilantism or unlawful discrimination, and misuse may result in criminal penalties.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Our advertising partners and this site do not provide tools for regulated screening. You agree not to use content from this site or a linked tool to:
- Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
- Evaluate an applicant for housing
- Make an employment decision
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government program
- Take any other action governed by the FCRA
Where a lawful regulated check is required, use an authorized FCRA-compliant provider and follow the applicable consent and notice rules. Iowa DCI supplies official Iowa criminal-history products but does not make this site an approved screening service.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is not legal advice. General information about Clarke County records cannot determine how a charge, warrant, conviction, or Iowa expungement rule applies to one case. Consult a licensed Iowa attorney for legal advice.
6. No Warranties
All content is provided "as is." We make no promise that:
- A partner's search result is complete or correct
- Every page is free from bugs, errors, or security flaws
- The service will always remain available without interruption
- Information is complete, accurate, or current at a given time
Charges, dispositions, restrictions, and expungement orders can change a record. Gaps and delays are possible. No content here is an official statement from the sheriff, court, DCI, or another public body.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to courts, law-enforcement offices, state agencies, legal resources, and independent search services. Those destinations are outside our control. We are not responsible for their content, pricing, availability, or data practices. Review each provider's terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Clarke County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative works requires prior written permission.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for loss or damage caused by use of the site or reliance on information from it or a linked service.
