Information You Send
Search Queries
A name, place, or other term entered into a search feature is routed to the third-party provider that operates that feature. Harrison County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. Results from a provider are subject to that provider’s practices and should be confirmed with the originating official office.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or contact message may include a name, return address, and the details supplied by the sender. That information is retained only as needed to read, respond to, and maintain the communication. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally compelled.
Technical Details From Visits
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive limited technical information when a page loads. This information helps the site operate, measure performance, and diagnose errors. It can include the following:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on each page;
- the referring website, if one is supplied; and
- visit timestamps.
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies and similar browser tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support site functions. Most browsers allow cookies to be blocked, limited, or cleared. Those settings do not remove all collection by outside services, and some features or preferences may work differently when cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Information collected directly or automatically is used for practical site operations. The site uses it to:
- keep the site available and responsive;
- route search requests to the appropriate partner service;
- understand which record-source pages are useful to visitors;
- identify and correct technical problems; and
- support advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
For example, traffic patterns can help maintain links to the Harrison County sheriff roster, Missouri court material, and Missouri Department of Corrections resources. They do not make the site a custodian of those government records.
External Links and Advertising
The site links to official and outside resources, including the Harrison County sheriff’s roster, Missouri Case.net, Missouri Department of Corrections material, Missouri Sunshine Law information, and third-party search tools. Each destination controls its own content, availability, and privacy practices. Review that destination’s notice before providing information there.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or related technologies to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs through the partner’s systems, not through a claim that the site controls the partner’s records. Browser settings and the partner’s available controls may limit some, but not all, of that activity.
When Data May Be Shared
Personal information is not sold. It may be available to the limited categories of recipients below when needed for the described services or when a lawful request requires disclosure:
- search partners that process a submitted query;
- analytics services that measure site use;
- advertising networks that provide or measure advertisements; and
- law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Sharing a link to an official custodian is not the same as sharing a visitor’s contact information. A booking or court record remains controlled by the agency or court that maintains it.
Protecting Stored Information
Reasonable administrative and technical practices are used to protect information held for site operations and communications. No internet-connected system can promise complete security. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal details in an ordinary contact message and should use the appropriate government custodian for a formal public-record request.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent, guardian, or young person who believes that information was submitted may contact the organization to request its deletion. The request should identify enough information to locate the submission without adding unnecessary personal details.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information actually held, a visitor may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal information held about that visitor;
- correct inaccurate information;
- request deletion of information; or
- opt out of certain processing where that choice is available.
Use the site contact channel for these requests. A request concerning a sheriff, court, or corrections record must be directed to the responsible government office, because Harrison County Busted Mugshots does not control those source records.
Changes to This Notice
Privacy practices may change as the site, partners, or legal requirements change. Any revision will be posted here with an effective date. Continued use after a revised notice is posted means the visitor accepts the updated practices.
