Terms of Use

Using Story County Recent Arrests means agreeing to these terms. A visitor who does not accept them should stop using the site.

This privately owned site has no affiliation with a government body, sheriff, jail, or corrections department. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers FCRA-covered services for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening. It is a Story County, Iowa records-resource guide, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.


Purpose of the Website

This private guide has no government ties. It stores no official record and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, or file documents.

It points readers to Story County jail and arrest resources and connects users with outside research tools.


Acceptable Use Rules

  • Do not violate any law through use of the site.
  • Do not stalk, harass, or threaten anyone.
  • Do not base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on site content.
  • Do not seek unauthorized access.
  • Do not operate bots or scrapers.
  • Do not disrupt access for others.

No Consumer Reports

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and supplies no background check, credit report, consumer report, or screening service. Advertising partners do not provide those services through this site. Users agree not to use information for:

  • hiring or firing decisions;
  • tenant or housing screening;
  • creditworthiness or insurance pricing;
  • licenses, permits, or government-program eligibility;
  • any other FCRA-covered purpose.

Outside Resources

Links may lead to rosters, booking feeds, sheriff or corrections sites, government portals, legal aid, and outside searches. Those links are not endorsements. This site is not responsible for their content, data practices, or availability. Review each service's terms.


No Warranties

Everything is supplied "as is," without a promise of:

  • accuracy, completeness, or currency;
  • continuous availability;
  • freedom from errors, bugs, or security flaws;
  • complete partner search results.

Custody status and public records change often. Nothing here is an official statement from the Story County Sheriff's Office or another agency.


Liability Limits

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its operators are not liable for damages arising from use of the site.


Indemnification

Users agree to hold the site harmless from claims tied to their use or breach of these terms, including reasonable legal fees.

Access may be limited or revoked at any time, for any reason, without notice.


Iowa Governing Law
