Information You Provide
Search-tool entries
A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Morgan County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log the search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern the query after it is submitted.
Messages
If a visitor sends us an email or other contact message, we may keep the message and contact details needed to respond, resolve a request, or maintain business records. We do not disclose those messages outside our organization except when disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical information when a page is loaded, including:
- IP address, browser type and version
- Device type, operating system, and language settings
- Pages viewed, time spent, referring site, and timestamps
- General diagnostic information used to operate and secure the site
Cookies and similar tools
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors navigate the site, remember limited preferences, measure performance, and support advertising. Browser settings can restrict or remove cookies, although some features or provider tools may behave differently when cookies are blocked.
How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website.
- To direct a submitted search query to the provider selected by the visitor.
- To learn which official-resource guides, such as the Morgan County Sheriff and SEORJ routes, are useful to readers.
- To diagnose errors, prevent misuse, and respond to a message or legal request.
- To display advertising that may be tailored by an advertising provider using its own systems.
Links and Other Websites
This site links to official and third-party resources, including the SEORJ current roster, ODRC offender search, court portals, and partner tools. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that destination's privacy policy and practices apply. We do not control its content, availability, or data handling.
Advertising partners may collect or use information about activity across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Their controls and privacy notices, rather than this policy, explain those practices.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may be handled by service providers that need it to provide a function, including:
- Search partners that process an entered query.
- Analytics and hosting providers that measure performance or keep the site available.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertisements.
- Law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to a small reference website. No internet-connected system can promise absolute security, so we cannot guarantee that stored or transmitted information will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If a parent, guardian, or minor believes a minor supplied personal information, contact us through the Contacts page so we can review a deletion request.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification of the request, a visitor may ask to review personal information we hold, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, or object to certain processing. Cookie and advertising choices can also be managed through browser or provider settings. Use the Contacts page to make a request.
Policy Changes
We may revise this policy when the site or its providers change. The updated version will be posted here with a revised effective date. Continued use after posting means the visitor accepts the updated policy.
