NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with Union County, the State of Iowa, or another government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or any other Fair Credit Reporting Act purpose. The content helps readers locate Union County and Iowa record sources. We are not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation firm.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site, not a court, sheriff's office, or state agency. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves records, files papers, or performs official checks for a visitor.
Its content identifies sources such as the Union County Sheriff, Iowa District Court, Iowa DCI, and the Iowa Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to search services operated by outside providers.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the website, you agree not to:
- Use the website in violation of federal, Iowa, or local law
- Harass, threaten, or stalk a person using information found here
- Use the content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Attempt unauthorized access to a system or account
- Deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools
- Interfere with site speed, operation, or another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from this website or a linked service may not be used to intimidate, stalk, threaten, harass, or discriminate. Iowa Code chapter 692A governs the Iowa Sex Offender Registry and forbids treating public safety information as permission for vigilante conduct. Misuse may carry legal consequences.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or screening products. The same limitation applies to use of linked tools through this site. You may not use the information 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 check for a legally regulated purpose must come from an authorized, FCRA-compliant source rather than this site.
5. No Legal Advice
The content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Iowa attorney can advise how a charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement law applies to particular facts.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are offered "as is." We make no promise 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
Records change when charges are filed, amended, dismissed, sealed, or expunged. Gaps and delays can occur. Nothing here is an official statement from the Union County sheriff, an Iowa court, or another government body.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to government offices, Iowa court portals, legal resources, or commercial search services. We do not control their content, availability, fees, security, or data handling. Their own terms apply after you leave this website.
8. Intellectual Property
Union County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, distribution, modification, or derivative use requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for losses arising from use of the website, its content, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, actions, fees, and costs caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms.
11. Governing Law
Iowa law governs these terms, including applicable principles reflected in Iowa Code chapter 22 for government public records and chapter 692 for criminal-history dissemination. Any dispute tied to use of this private site must be brought in an Iowa court with jurisdiction.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms. A revision becomes effective when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or terminated at any time, with or without advance notice.
