Scott County Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when you use Scott County Busted Mugshots, how it is used, and when it may be shared. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Provide

Search entries

A name, location, or other term entered into a search feature is sent to the third-party provider that operates that feature. Scott County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

If you email us or use a contact form, the information in the message may be retained to respond and maintain the correspondence. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, the site may receive limited technical information when a page loads. This information helps operate, protect, and improve the service.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • Referring website, when one is supplied
  • Request dates and times

Cookies

Cookies and similar browser tools may be used to understand site use and support basic functions. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings, although some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

The information described above may be used for the ordinary operation and maintenance of the site.

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Route a search request to the relevant partner service
  • Understand which material readers find useful
  • Identify and correct technical problems
  • Display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests

External Services and Advertising

Links may take you to government, court, records, search, or other outside services. Their privacy practices, availability, and content are controlled by those services after you leave this site. Review the terms and privacy notice of each destination before providing information there.

Advertising partners may collect activity across websites on their own systems in order to serve interest-based advertising. That activity is governed by the partner's practices, not this notice.


When Information May Be Shared

Personal information is not sold. It may be disclosed only to the following recipients when needed for the stated purpose or when the law requires it.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure site performance
  • Advertising networks that provide advertising services
  • Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order

Security Practices

Reasonable administrative and technical practices are used to protect information. No internet-connected system can promise complete security, so protection against every unauthorized event cannot be guaranteed.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, contact us so it can be reviewed for deletion.


Your Choices and Requests

You may contact us to make a reasonable request about personal information held through a direct message or contact submission.

  • Request a copy of information held about you
  • Correct information that is inaccurate
  • Ask that information be deleted
  • Opt out of certain processing where that choice is available

Use the Get in Touch page to send a request. A request may need enough detail to identify the relevant message or information.


Changes to This Notice

This notice may be revised as the site's practices change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date, and continued use after posting is subject to the revised notice.
