Information Sent by Visitors
Search terms
A name, place, or other query entered into a search widget is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Fayette County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own servers.
Messages and contact details
If someone emails the service or sends a contact message, the message and reply address may be kept long enough to respond and maintain a basic correspondence record. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to protect the service.
Technical Data and Cookies
Normal page requests can create technical logs. Depending on the hosting and analytics settings in use, those logs may include:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on each
- Referring page, when supplied by the browser
- Date and time of a request
Cookie choices
Cookies or similar small files may help measure how visitors use the pages and keep certain features working. A browser can block or clear them. Some functions may respond differently after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Data is used for ordinary operation and service maintenance, including:
- Keeping the pages available and responsive.
- Sending search requests to the selected partner tool.
- Learning which pages are useful to visitors.
- Finding errors, abuse, and technical faults.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests.
Government and Outside Links
The pages link to Fayette County rosters, Sheriff resources, city police records portals, court systems, state corrections tools, federal locators, and outside search providers. Once a visitor leaves these pages, the destination’s privacy policy and data practices control. Fayette County Busted Mugshots does not control those offices or providers.
Advertising partners may also measure activity across different websites for ad delivery. That tracking occurs on the partners’ systems and is governed by their notices and settings, not by a record held in a Fayette County jail system.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold by this service. It may be available to the limited groups needed to run the pages:
- Search partners that process a query entered into their tool.
- Analytics providers that measure page use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Limits
Reasonable security practices are used for the information handled by the service. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, and no promise can be made that a transmission or stored message will never be exposed.
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 the Contact Us route to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity checks, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held by the service.
- Correct inaccurate contact information.
- Ask that personal data be deleted.
- Opt out of certain processing where that choice is available.
Requests can be sent through Contact Us. A search provider or advertising partner may need to receive a separate request because it controls the data in its own system.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be revised when the service, providers, or legal requirements change. The updated wording takes effect when posted here, with a new effective date if one is supplied.
