Information You Provide
Search Entries
A name, location, or other search term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Lafayette County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those query terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to respond. We do not share it outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Site Information
Like most websites, the site may receive routine technical information when a page loads. That information can include the following:
- Your IP address.
- Your browser and browser version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- A referring website, when one is supplied.
- Visit dates and times.
Cookies
Cookies help measure site use and remember technical preferences. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings, although some site features may then work differently.
Why We Use Data
We use the information described above to operate and improve the site, including these practical purposes:
- Maintain performance and availability.
- Send a submitted query to the appropriate search provider.
- Understand which information readers use.
- Detect and address technical problems.
- Support advertising that may reflect interests.
Links and Advertising
The site links to government offices, court systems, corrections pages, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy practices govern the information you provide there. Review those policies before submitting a search or request.
Advertising partners may measure activity across websites to deliver interest-based advertising through their own systems. Their collection and choices are governed by their notices, not this one.
When Data Is Disclosed
We do not sell personal information. Data may be disclosed only to the types of recipients needed for site operations or when a valid legal requirement applies.
- Search providers that process submitted queries.
- Analytics vendors that help measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards for site information. No internet-connected service can promise absolute security, so we cannot guarantee that a transmission or stored item will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If a minor has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
Your Information Choices
You may contact us to make a request about personal information held by the site.
- Ask for a copy of information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of information, subject to legal or operational needs.
- Ask to opt out of certain processing where that option is available.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as site practices change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here and will show a new effective date.
