Information Sent Directly
Search terms
A name or location entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Clarke County Busted Mugshots does not store or keep a log of those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and requests
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply details are kept long enough to respond and manage the conversation. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data and Cookies
Routine page requests can create technical records that help maintain the service. These may include:
- IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on them
- Referring page, if one was supplied
- Access date and time
Cookies
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the pages and whether features work. Browser settings can block or delete them. Some functions may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports ordinary operation and service improvement. Uses can include:
- Keeping the pages available and responsive
- Sending search requests to the selected partner tool
- Learning which pages are useful
- Finding errors and technical faults
- Showing advertising that may reflect general interests
Links Beyond This Resource
Pages link to sheriff rosters, booking reports, police and corrections agencies, courts, government portals, archives, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves for one of those destinations, that organization's privacy statement controls the information it receives.
Some advertising partners may observe activity across sites for interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs on the partner's systems and is governed by its own notice and choices.
Possible Data Recipients
Personal information is not sold by this resource. It may nevertheless reach the following parties when the service or law requires it:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure use
- Advertising networks
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable standard safeguards are used for the information handled here. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, so Clarke County Busted Mugshots cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information, a parent or guardian may contact the resource and request deletion of that submission.
Choices About Your Data
Subject to applicable limits, a visitor may ask about information held in connection with a message or request. Available choices can include:
- Requesting a copy of data held
- Asking that an error be corrected

Requests can be sent through the Contact Us page. Search terms sent to a third-party provider may need to be addressed directly with that provider.
Policy Changes
This policy may be revised as the service, tools, or legal requirements change. A new version becomes effective when posted here, with its updated effective date. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised practices.
