Terms & Conditions

Using this site means that you accept these terms and agree to follow them. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

This privately owned resource is not affiliated with a government body, sheriff, jail, court, or corrections department. It helps visitors locate Winneshiek County and Iowa jail-record sources, but it is not a private investigation firm or a consumer reporting agency. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another use governed by the FCRA.


Nature of the Service

This private reference site has no government role. It stores no official record and cannot confirm custody, release anyone, or file a document with an agency or court.

Its pages point toward official Winneshiek County inmate and jail resources and may connect visitors with outside research tools.


Acceptable Use Rules

  • Do not violate any law while using the site.
  • Do not stalk, harass, intimidate, or threaten another person.
  • Do not use site information for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions.
  • Do not seek access to systems or data without permission.
  • Do not operate bots, scrapers, or automated extraction tools.
  • Do not interfere with another visitor's access.

Strict FCRA Restrictions

This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It supplies no background check, credit report, consumer report, or screening service, and neither do its advertising partners. You agree not to use information reached through this site for:

  • Hiring, discipline, or termination decisions
  • Tenant selection or any housing decision
  • Creditworthiness, lending, or insurance pricing
  • Licenses, permits, or government-program eligibility
  • Any other decision regulated by the FCRA

Independent External Services

Links may lead to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections sites, courts, legal resources, news publishers, or outside search services. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control a destination's content, privacy practices, terms, accuracy, or availability, so review its rules before use.


No Warranties

The site and its content are supplied "as is" without a promise of:

  • Accuracy, completeness, or current information
  • Continuous, uninterrupted availability
  • Freedom from errors, defects, or security flaws
  • Complete results from a third-party search provider

Custody and public records can change quickly. Nothing published here is an official statement by a sheriff or government agency.


Limits of Liability

To the broadest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from access to or use of the site.


Your Duty to Indemnify

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


Ownership of Site Materials

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Winneshiek County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. They may not be copied, distributed, or modified without written permission.


Revisions to These Terms

These terms may be changed at any time. A revision takes effect when it is posted on this page.


Suspension of Access

We may limit or revoke access at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.


Iowa Law Applies

Iowa law governs these terms. Any dispute must be filed in a court located within Iowa.


Severability

If one provision is held invalid, the remaining terms stay effective. The invalid provision will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable.
