Privacy Notice

This notice explains what Rowan County Busted Mugshots collects, how information is used, and when providers or authorities may receive it. Using the site means accepting these practices. An outside provider governs information entered after you follow its search tool or link.

Information You Submit

Partner Search Terms

A name, place, or other term entered in a partner search tool passes to the outside company operating that tool. We do not store or log those queries on our systems.

Messages

We retain emails or contact-form messages as needed to answer them. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Automatic Technical Data

Standard logs may collect technical details when a page loads.

  • IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure site use. A browser can block or delete them, though some functions may then behave differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports these limited operational purposes:

  • Operate and improve site performance
  • Send queries to the selected search partner
  • Measure which pages are useful
  • Find and correct technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests

Privacy Beyond This Site

Links lead to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, news sources, and outside search tools. The destination's privacy policy applies after you leave.

Advertising partners may use their systems to track activity across sites and select targeted ads. We do not control that activity.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach:

  • Search partners processing queries
  • Analytics services
  • Advertising networks
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard safeguards suited to the information handled. No internet-connected system is fully secure, so a breach-proof service cannot be promised.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The site is for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Depending on applicable law, a user may:

  • Request a copy of personal data held
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Request deletion where applicable
  • Opt out of eligible forms of processing

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice. An updated version takes effect when posted with a new effective date.
