Terms of Service

Using Decatur County Recent Arrests means you agree to these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

This privately owned site is not affiliated with any government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers an FCRA-covered service for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening. We provide directions to Decatur County and Iowa record sources, not private investigation or consumer reports.


Scope of the Site

This is an independent reference site. It stores no official records and cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or file a government document.

Its pages point to Decatur County jail and arrest sources, Iowa systems, and optional third-party research tools.


Acceptable Use Rules

  • Use the site only for lawful purposes.
  • Do not stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten anyone.
  • Do not use content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions.
  • Do not seek unauthorized access to the site or its systems.
  • Do not run bots, scrapers, or bulk extraction tools.
  • Do not interfere with access for other visitors.

No Consumer Reports

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and provide no background check, credit report, or consumer report. Our advertising partners do not turn site content into a screening service. You agree not to use information for any FCRA-covered purpose.

  • Hiring, firing, or other employment decisions.
  • Tenant selection or other housing decisions.
  • Creditworthiness or insurance pricing.
  • Licensing, permits, or government-program eligibility.
  • Any other use regulated by the FCRA.

Outside Websites

Links may lead to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections sites, government portals, legal aid, or outside search services. A link does not endorse its operator, content, or services. We do not control a destination’s content, data practices, or availability, so review its own terms.


No Warranties

Everything is provided “as is.” We make no warranty of:

  • Accuracy, completeness, or currency.
  • Continuous or uninterrupted access.
  • Freedom from errors, bugs, or security flaws.
  • The completeness of a partner’s search results.

Custody and public records change often. Nothing here is an official statement from a sheriff or government agency.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for losses or damages arising from access to or use of the site.


Your Responsibility for Claims

You agree to defend and hold the site harmless from claims, losses, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use or violation of these terms.


Ownership of Content

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Decatur County Recent Arrests or its content partners. Do not copy, distribute, or modify them without written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. New terms take effect when posted here.


Access May End

We may limit or block access at any time, for any reason, without prior notice.


Iowa Law Applies

Iowa law governs these terms. Any dispute must be filed in a court with jurisdiction in Iowa.


If One Term Fails

If one provision is invalid, the rest remain effective. The invalid part will be adjusted only as much as needed.
