Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the outside provider that operates the tool. Jefferson County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those query terms on its own systems.
Email and Contact Messages
Messages sent to the site may be retained long enough to answer and manage the conversation. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Records
Ordinary server and analytics systems may record basic technical details when a page loads, including:
- the visitor's Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages opened and time spent on them;
- the referring website, when one is supplied; and
- the date and time of each request.
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site. Most browsers allow users to block or delete them, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
Reasons for Data Use
Collected information is used only for normal site and service functions, such as:
- maintaining performance and availability;
- sending search requests to the selected partner;
- understanding which reference pages are useful;
- diagnosing errors and technical faults; and
- displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, custody tools, news sites, and outside search services. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy and data practices apply.
Some advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across more than one website and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on the partner's technology, not this site's records.
Limited Data Sharing
Personal information is not sold. It may be provided only to parties needed to operate the service or to comply with a valid legal demand:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver ads; and
- law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Has Limits
Reasonable, standard security practices are used to protect information. No website, connection, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so the site cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Adults Only
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact the site and request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of the records actually held, a visitor may:
- ask for a copy of personal data kept by the site;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion of eligible information; or
- object to or opt out of certain processing.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as services or practices change. An updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
