Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected when someone visits Clinton County Busted Mugshots, how that information supports the site, and when service providers or lawful authorities may receive it. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Submit

Search terms

A name or place entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those query terms on this site's systems.

Messages

When you send an email or contact message, we retain what is needed to reply. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data and Cookies

Routine server and analytics logs may record technical facts connected with a page visit.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring page, when available
  • Date and time of access

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can refuse them, although some functions may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports ordinary site operations and improvement.

  • Maintain reliable and responsive pages
  • Send search requests to the selected provider
  • Understand which guides readers use
  • Diagnose errors and security issues
  • Present advertising that may reflect general interests

Links and Outside Services

The site links to county offices, jail and corrections resources, court portals, public-record pages, and outside search tools. Once a reader follows a link, the destination's privacy terms control its collection and use of information.

Advertising providers may measure activity across websites on their own systems to select ads. That processing is controlled by those providers, not by this site.


Limited Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Data may be available to service providers that need it for a defined task.

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

Security Measures

We use standard safeguards appropriate to a public website. No internet system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that information will never be lost, misused, or accessed without permission.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, a person may ask for access to personal data we hold, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. Requests can be sent through the Contacts page.


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice when services or practices change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
