Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected when someone uses Adams County Busted Mugshots, how that information supports the service, and the limited situations in which it may reach another party. By continuing to use the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

We retain an email or contact-form message as needed to answer it. Its contents are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Standard server, analytics, and advertising systems may record basic technical details when a page loads:

  • The Internet Protocol address used for the request
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies and Browser Controls

Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site. A browser can reject or remove them, although blocking cookies may cause some functions to behave differently.


Reasons We Use Information

  • Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance
  • Send a search request to the selected partner tool
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful
  • Detect and repair technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Privacy Beyond This Site

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, custody systems, court records, or private search tools. After a visitor follows an outside link, that destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the partner's practices, not as a record stored directly by this site.


Limited Data Sharing

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

  • Search partners processing a submitted query
  • Analytics providers measuring site activity
  • Advertising networks delivering ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard safeguards suited to an informational website. No system connected to the Internet can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask that qualifying information be erased
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing where applicable

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as practices or requirements change. An updated version will be posted here with a new effective date.
