Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected through Hancock County Busted Mugshots, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Choose to Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

We retain email or contact-form messages as needed to respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Technical Information Collected Automatically

Routine server and analytics records may capture these details when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject them, although blocking cookies may change how some features work.


How Information Supports the Site

  • Operate and improve site performance
  • Send search requests to the selected partner
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful
  • Diagnose and repair technical problems
  • Present advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Privacy Beyond This Website

Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, custody and court resources, and outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy controls.

Advertising providers may track activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not this site's.


Limited Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by:

  • Search partners processing submitted queries
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Has Limits

We use customary safeguards, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure or breach-proof.


Adults Only

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Use the Contact Us page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion where applicable
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this policy. An updated version becomes effective when posted here with its new effective date.
