NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The resource points readers to Worth County and Iowa criminal-record channels. It is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation firm.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site that operates independently of government. It does not hold official records, conduct official checks, retrieve a file, or submit paperwork for a user.
Its purpose is to identify the Worth County Sheriff, Iowa District Court, Iowa DCI, Iowa Sex Offender Registry, and other sources that maintain relevant records, while also providing access to outside research tools.
Access to agency records is governed by the Iowa Open Records Law, Iowa Code chapter 22, while Iowa Code chapter 692 controls criminal-history collection and dissemination.
2. Rules for Using This Site
A user must not:
- Use the service in violation of federal, Iowa, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, intimidate, or harass another person
- Use content for an FCRA-regulated decision
- Gain or attempt unauthorized access to a system
- Send bots, scrapers, or automated requests to the pages
- Interfere with site performance or another visitor’s access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information found here or through a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate. Iowa Code §692A.113 specifically restricts misuse of Iowa Sex Offender Registry information and can impose criminal consequences. Registry data exists for lawful public-safety awareness, not vigilantism or blacklisting.
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 reports, or consumer reports. Our advertising partners’ tools are also not presented for regulated screening. A user agrees not to rely on this site or a linked tool to:
- Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
- Make a hiring or termination decision
- Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
- Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
- Carry out any other action governed by the FCRA
A regulated purpose requires an appropriate official channel or an FCRA-compliant consumer reporting provider, not this website.
5. No Legal Advice
Content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how an Iowa charge, warrant, conviction, or chapter 901C expungement rule applies to a specific situation. Consult a licensed Iowa attorney.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are provided “as is.” We do not promise that:
- A partner’s result is complete or correctly matched
- Every page is free from an error or security defect
- Information is always complete, accurate, and current
- The site will operate without interruption
Charges, dispositions, confidentiality orders, and agency procedures change. Gaps are unavoidable, and no page should be treated as an official statement from the Worth County Sheriff, a court, Iowa DCI, or any government office.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to sheriff pages, Iowa Courts Online, state agencies, legal resources, and outside services. We do not control a destination’s content, fees, availability, or data practices. Its own terms apply after a visitor leaves this site.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Worth County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, modified, distributed, or used to create another work without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damages arising from use of the site, its content, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A user agrees to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, actions, fees, and costs arising from that user’s conduct or breach of these terms.
11. Governing Law
Iowa law governs these terms. Any dispute connected with use of the website must be brought in a court located in Iowa, subject to applicable jurisdiction and venue rules.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms. A new version becomes effective when it is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may restrict or end access at any time, with or without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected language will be adjusted only as far as needed to make it enforceable.
