Terms for Using Iowa Busted Mugshots

What This Website Provides

This is a private reference website with no government affiliation. It does not maintain official arrest, booking, court, or custody files and cannot confirm a person's status, cause a release, or submit a document for you.

The Iowa pages explain how county arrest records and booking-photo resources are organized, describe relevant state sources, and identify selected outside research tools. Iowa Code chapter 22 governs access to qualifying government records; it does not make this site a records custodian.

Rules for Using the Site

• obey applicable laws while using the site;
• do not use information to stalk, threaten, harass, or harm another person;
• do not rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, or other eligibility decisions;
• do not try to gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems;
• do not use automated bots or scrapers to collect site content; and
• do not interfere with another visitor's use or disrupt site operations.

No Consumer Reports or Screening

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services. Neither the site nor its advertising partners supply those services. You agree not to use information found here for an FCRA-covered purpose, including:

• hiring, firing, promotion, or other employment decisions;
• tenant selection or housing eligibility;
• creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing;
• licenses, permits, or government-program eligibility; or
• any other purpose governed by the FCRA.

Links to Outside Resources

Links may lead to county jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court and government portals, county sites, legal resources, or commercial search services. A link is provided for reference, not as an endorsement. Those parties control their content, data practices, fees, and availability. Review their terms and privacy policies before using them; we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.

No Warranties

All content and tools are provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty about:

• the accuracy, completeness, or current status of information;
• uninterrupted or error-free operation;
• the absence of bugs, defects, or security vulnerabilities; or
• the completeness or quality of a partner's search results.

Public records and custody status can change. Nothing on this site is an official statement from an Iowa sheriff, court, or government agency.

Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Iowa Busted Mugshots and its operators are not liable for damages arising from or related to your access to or use of this site, its content, or a linked service.

Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold harmless the site and its operators from claims, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from your use of the site or your violation of these terms.

Site Materials

Text, graphics, logos, and code on this site belong to Iowa Busted Mugshots or the relevant content partners. Do not copy, distribute, or modify protected material without written permission, except where applicable law allows.

Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page; continued use after posting means you accept the updated terms.

Suspending Access

We may restrict or end access to the site, in whole or in part, at any time and without advance notice.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Iowa, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be filed in a court with jurisdiction located in Iowa.

Severability

If a court finds a term invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. The affected provision will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it enforceable where possible.
