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. Cotton County Busted Mugshots does not store or maintain those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
When a visitor sends a message through an available contact method, we may keep the name, email address, and message content needed to respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, the service may collect technical data when a page loads. 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 website, if one was supplied.
- Date and time information associated with the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site. Most browsers allow cookies to be blocked or cleared through their settings. Some site features may work differently if cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To operate, maintain, and improve the site.
- To send a search request to the partner service selected by a visitor.
- To understand which information visitors find useful.
- To detect, diagnose, and address technical problems.
- To display advertising that may reflect interests, where permitted.
Other Websites and Ads
Links can lead to sheriff, court, corrections, custody, and third-party search resources. Once a visitor leaves this site, the other organization’s privacy notice and terms control its handling of information.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising through their own systems. Cotton County Busted Mugshots does not control those partners’ tracking practices.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to the following recipients when needed for the stated purpose:
- Search partners that process a visitor’s query.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertising.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, however, and no method of transmission or storage is guaranteed to be breach-proof.
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, a parent or guardian may ask that it be deleted through an available contact method.
