Information You Provide
Search Entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search feature is transmitted to the independent provider that operates that feature. Washington County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages to the Site
If you send an email or contact submission, we may retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share a message outside our organization unless disclosure is legally required or permitted as described in this notice.
Technical Information Collected
When a browser loads a page, service providers may automatically receive routine technical information that helps operate, protect, and measure the site. That information can include:
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring site, when one is supplied.
- Access dates and timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support its functions. Browser settings can limit or block cookies, although some features may behave differently when cookies are unavailable.
How Site Data Is Used
We use available information to maintain the site and understand whether its pages and tools are functioning as intended.
- Operate and improve site performance.
- Pass a search request to the selected partner service.
- Learn which pages visitors find useful.
- Detect and address technical problems or misuse.
- Support advertising that may be based on interests.
External Services and Records
The site links to sheriff, court, corrections, and other outside resources, as well as third-party search tools. Once you follow an outbound link, the receiving site’s privacy notice and terms apply. Some advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across sites and deliver interest-based ads.
This notice governs site data, not records held by a public custodian. A Missouri public-record request to a government office has its own rules, including the response framework in RSMo § 610.023. The official custodian, not this site, decides what record information is available or withheld.
Parties That May Receive Data
Washington County Busted Mugshots does not sell personal data. Information may be shared with the following categories when necessary to operate the site or when a lawful obligation requires it:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that report site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertising.
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected system can promise absolute security, however, and we cannot guarantee that an unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If you believe a minor submitted information to us, contact us so that we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Choices About Data
Subject to applicable law and verification of a request, you may ask about information we hold about you.
- Request a copy of personal data held by the site.
- Ask to correct information that is inaccurate.
- Request deletion of information where applicable.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as site practices change. The updated version will be posted here with a new effective date, and continued use after posting is subject to the updated notice.
