Information You Send
Search Terms
A name, place or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Morgan County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider may apply its own privacy policy and retention rules, so review those terms before submitting a query.
Messages to the Service
If you send an email or contact message, the message and the reply details are kept so the request can be handled. Those messages are not shared outside the operating organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data and Cookies
Routine server and analytics systems may record technical details when a page loads. The information can include:
- IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on each page
- Referring website, when one is supplied
- Date and time of the request
Cookie Choices
Cookies and similar storage can help measure how visitors use the service and keep certain functions working. Browser settings can block or delete cookies. Blocking them may change how a search tool, preference or other feature behaves.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used for ordinary operation and maintenance, including:
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending search requests to the selected partner tool
- Understanding which records topics are useful
- Finding errors, abuse and technical faults
- Showing advertising that may reflect browsing interests
Links Beyond This Service
Pages may link to the Morgan County Sheriff's Office, the county Open Records Request Form, the GDC offender search, the Morgan County Clerk, government portals and third-party search providers. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy notice controls its collection, use and retention. Morgan County Busted Mugshots does not control those services or promise that their pages will remain available.
Some advertising partners can observe activity across different websites to select or measure advertisements. That tracking occurs on the partners' systems and is governed by their notices, not by this Privacy Notice alone.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone mailing list. It may nevertheless be processed by the following recipients when needed for the purposes above:
- Search partners that receive submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure use and performance
- Advertising networks and their measurement vendors
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Is a Best Effort
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information handled by the service. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however. Morgan County Busted Mugshots cannot promise that data will never be intercepted, misused or exposed after a security event.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent personal data, a parent or guardian may use Contact Us to request its deletion, subject to a reasonable identity check and any legal retention duty.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the data and the law that applies, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held about that person
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete information that no longer needs to be retained
- Object to or opt out of certain processing, including some advertising activity
Send a request through Contact Us. Search terms held by a third-party provider must be addressed with that provider, because Morgan County Busted Mugshots does not keep those queries on its own systems.
Changes to This Notice
This Privacy Notice may be revised when practices, partners or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted here with a new effective date or other clear update marker. Continued use after a change means the revised practices apply to future use.
