Information Provided Directly
Search requests
A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. Knox County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or other contact message, the information in that message may be kept so that a response can be provided. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, the service and its providers can receive basic technical information when a page is requested.
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent
- Referring page, when available
- Request date and time
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site. Browser settings can limit or block cookies, though some features may then behave differently.
Why Information Is Used
Collected information may be used to operate and improve the service, route a search request to its provider, understand which pages are helpful, diagnose technical problems, and serve advertising that may be based on interests.
External Links and Advertising
Links may lead to official jail rosters, booking-report pages, sheriff or corrections resources, government portals, and independent search tools. Each outside service controls its own privacy practices once a visitor leaves this site.
Advertising partners may collect activity across sites through their own systems to support interest-based advertising. Their policies, not this notice, govern that collection.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold. It can be processed or disclosed in limited situations, including those below.
- Search providers that receive a submitted query
- Analytics vendors that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal information through an ordinary contact message.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has supplied personal information, a parent or guardian may ask for its deletion through the contact route.
Choices About Personal Data
A person may ask about information held in connection with a contact message and may request correction, deletion, or a limitation on certain processing where applicable. Search requests sent to an outside provider must be addressed to that provider.
Changes to This Notice
This Privacy Notice may be revised as the service changes. A revised version becomes effective when posted here.
