DES MOINES, Iowa— A Web site that was drawing criticism for publishing land documents that included Social Security numbers and other information has removed the information from its Web site.
IowaLandRecords.org had drawn complaints from Gov. Chet Culver, watchdog groups and others who say that private information was on the site, including Social Security numbers for Culver and Secretary of State Michael Mauro, was inappropriate.
The Iowa County Recorders Association, which runs the site, announced on Wednesday that it had restricted mortgage and some commercial land records to prevent the disclosure of Social Security numbers.
County recorders from each of Iowa
s 99 counties are largely responsible for posting documents to the site.
