NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other Fair Credit Reporting Act use. The resource points to Marion County, Iowa criminal-record sources. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no connection to a public office. It does not store official files, retrieve records, perform official checks, or submit documents for a visitor.
Its role is to identify sources such as the Marion County Sheriff, Iowa District Court, Iowa DPS Division of Criminal Investigation, and Iowa Sex Offender Registry, along with optional outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is conditioned on the following limits. You must not:
- Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
- Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
- Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from this resource or a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate. Misuse may also violate the law. Iowa Sex Offender Registry data is intended for safety awareness, not retaliation, vigilantism, blacklisting, or exclusion from housing.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background checks, or consumer reports. Our advertising partners are not offered here as services for applicant, renter, insurance, or credit decisions. Information from this resource or a linked tool may not be used to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
A legally compliant consumer report must come from an appropriate official or FCRA-compliant provider, not from this site.
5. No Legal Advice
Content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot decide how an Iowa charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement rule affects a particular case. Seek advice from a licensed Iowa attorney.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are supplied “as is.” No guarantee is made that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Charges, dismissals, confidential status, and expungements can change official records. Gaps can occur, and no page should be read as a statement from the Marion County Sheriff, Iowa courts, or another agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can open sheriff, court, state, legal-aid, or outside search sites beyond our control. We are not responsible for their accuracy, availability, prices, data practices, or terms. Review each provider’s conditions before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Marion County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, adapting, distributing, or building on that material requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from use of the site, its information, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold us harmless against claims or demands caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Iowa law governs these terms. The Iowa Open Records Law, chapter 22, applies to records held by public offices, while Iowa Code section 692.2 governs state criminal-history dissemination. Neither law converts this private resource into a government custodian. Any dispute connected with use of the site must be brought in an Iowa court with proper jurisdiction.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be changed. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time and without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue. The affected language will be limited only as much as necessary.
