Information Provided by Visitors
A name, location, or similar term entered into a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Clarke County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The official agencies named in the records material, including NRADC and the Clarke County Sheriff’s Office, have separate systems and privacy practices.
If a visitor sends a message through a listed site contact method, the message and its contact details may be retained to respond or handle the request. We do not share message content outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Information
Like most websites, the service and its providers may receive technical information when a page loads. This information helps operate the site, understand reliability, and address abuse or errors.
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- Referring website, when one is supplied
- Access date and time
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site. Browser controls can limit or reject cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Information is used for ordinary site operations and to make the records-reference pages more useful. It may also help identify technical failures, prevent misuse, and measure whether pages such as the NRADC locator and Virginia court-resource links are functioning as expected.
- Operate, maintain, and improve the site
- Send a submitted search query to the appropriate search partner
- Understand which content visitors use
- Diagnose and resolve technical problems
- Deliver advertising that may be relevant to an audience
External Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to public resources such as the NRADC locator, the Virginia court portal, the VADOC locator, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that organization’s terms and privacy notice control its handling of information.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites for their own advertising purposes. Any such collection occurs within the partner’s systems and is governed by its own policies.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information can be shared with the service providers needed to run a search or keep the site available, and it may be disclosed where a valid legal process requires it.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that serve advertisements
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
Security Practices
We use reasonable, best-effort safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a transmission or stored record will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If a parent, guardian, or minor believes that a minor supplied personal information, they may request its deletion through Get in Touch.
Choices About Personal Data
A visitor may ask about personal information held through a direct message to the site. Requests are evaluated in light of applicable law, security needs, and the information actually held.
- Request a copy of personal information held
- Ask to correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion where appropriate
- Opt out of certain processing where that option applies
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as the site, providers, or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when posted here and will show its current wording on this page.
