Privacy Notice

Curious what happens to your details while you browse? This Privacy Notice explains how McDowell County Busted Mugshots treats information tied to site visits, search tools, and messages. It covers this private reference service alone. Linked agencies and search providers run their own policies, which take over the moment you leave.

Information Entered in Search

Anything typed into the third-party search widget goes straight to the company behind that tool. Its servers. Its rules. This site has no say in how that provider stores data, what it charges, or how long it keeps records. Read the provider's own privacy notice before you run a search.

Messages and Forms

Emails and contact-form messages may be stored so the operator can read and reply. They stay inside the organization. Disclosure happens only when the law demands it or when a service problem needs fixing.


Technical Data and Cookies

Normal page requests can produce technical information such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Referring page, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools can help measure how visitors use these pages. You can block or delete them in your browser settings. Fair warning: some features may act a bit different afterward.


How Information Is Used

Collected information may be used to:

  • Keep the pages working and improve speed.
  • Send a search request to the selected partner.
  • Understand which pages are useful.
  • Find errors, abuse, and technical faults.
  • Support advertising that may reflect visitor interests.

Outside Links

This service links out to plenty of destinations. Sheriff and police departments, jail information, court portals, corrections locators, archives, news outlets, and private search tools are all on the list. Once you leave here, the destination's own privacy notice and terms govern your visit. Advertising partners may also measure activity across sites using their own systems.


Who May Receive Data

Your personal information is never sold. When handling is needed for a purpose described in this notice, these parties may be involved:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure page use.
  • Advertising networks.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Security and Age Limits

Reasonable security practices are in place. Still, no system connected to the internet is fully safe, and no breach-proof guarantee is offered. This service is built for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and a parent or a minor can ask that a minor's submitted details be deleted.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity checks, a person may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal information held here.
  • Correct inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion.
  • Opt out of certain processing.

Requests go through Get in Touch. Anything aimed at an outside search partner must be sent to that partner directly.


Notice Changes

Expect revisions now and then. The service, its tools, or the law may shift. When they do, this notice can change too. A new version takes effect once it is posted here with its updated effective date.
