Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected, why it is used, and when a service provider or lawful authority may receive it. By using the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

Search Queries

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

Messages You Send

Messages and email addresses sent directly to us may be kept long enough to answer. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Data

Standard web systems may collect limited technical information when a page loads, including:

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device class and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • The referring page, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can block them, though some features may then work differently.


Purposes for Collected Data

Collected information supports ordinary site operations and measurement:

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Send search requests to the selected provider
  • Measure which resources visitors use
  • Diagnose errors and security issues
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests

Privacy Beyond Our Pages

Links may open sheriff, jail, court, corrections, government, news, or outside search pages. The destination's privacy policy governs after a visitor leaves this site.

Advertising providers may track activity across sites on their own systems to select ads. Their tools and policies control that processing.


Limited Data Recipients

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

  • Search partners processing a query
  • Analytics providers measuring traffic
  • Advertising networks serving ads
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used where practical. No internet-connected service is fully secure, so this site cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Adults Only

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted data.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a visitor may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal data held
  • Correct inaccurate personal data
  • Delete eligible personal data
  • Opt out of certain processing
