Information You Submit
Search entries
When you type a name, location, or other entry into a search tool, the request is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Butler County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Information sent in an email or message is retained so we can respond. We do not share it outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, we receive routine technical data when a browser loads a page. It may include:
- The internet protocol address used for the connection.
- The browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is provided.
- Dates and times associated with page requests.
Cookies
Cookies help us understand how visitors use the guide. You can block or delete cookies through browser settings, although some site features may operate differently after doing so.
Why We Use Information
Technical and submitted information helps us operate and improve the site. We may use it to:
- Keep pages functioning and responsive.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Learn which guides are useful to visitors.
- Detect, diagnose, and correct technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor’s interests.
Outside Websites and Advertising
The site links to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, booking-record resources, and third-party search tools. Once you follow an outbound link, that operator’s privacy notice and practices apply instead of ours.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising through their own systems. Their handling of that activity is governed by their policies, not this notice.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be shared only with the parties needed for the uses described here or when the law requires it:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics vendors that help us measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Safeguards
We use reasonable security measures for the information under our control. No internet-connected service is fully secure, however, and we cannot promise that a transmission, account, or stored item will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, please use the Get in Touch page to ask that it be deleted.
Your Choices About Data
You may make a request about personal data that we hold. Subject to applicable law, you can ask to:
- Receive a copy of the data associated with you.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Delete information that we no longer need to retain.
- Opt out of certain processing where that option applies.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice from time to time. A revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
