Information You Provide
Search Tool Entries
A name, place, or other term typed into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Lauderdale County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages You Send
We retain an email or contact-form message only as needed to respond to the inquiry. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data From Visits
When a page loads, common technical details may be collected to operate, measure, and protect the site. This data can include:
- Your IP address.
- Your browser type and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and the time spent on them.
- The referring site, if one is supplied.
- Visit dates and timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies help us understand site activity and maintain features. You can restrict cookies through your browser settings, although some features may work differently after they are blocked.
How We Use Information
We use the limited data described above to run and improve the guide, rather than to maintain official Lauderdale County records.
- Operate the site and improve its performance.
- Send search entries to the appropriate partner service.
- Learn which pages visitors find useful.
- Identify and correct technical problems.
- Serve advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's interests.
Outside Websites and Advertising
This guide links to official jail rosters, sheriff pages, court and corrections resources, government portals, and outside search tools. Once you follow a link, that provider's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may collect or use information across websites to deliver interest-based advertising through their own systems. Their handling of data is governed by their own policies, not this notice.
When Information May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to the following parties when necessary for the stated purpose:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site activity.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess advertising.
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Data Security
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information within our control. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, so we cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, or disclosed without authorization.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has supplied personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
You may contact us about information we hold directly. Subject to applicable law and practical limits, you may:
- Request a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of personal information.
- Opt out of certain processing where that option is available.
Updates to This Notice
We may update this Privacy Notice as the site or its services change. A revised version will appear on this page with an updated effective date.
