Information You Provide
Search Queries
A name, location, or similar term entered into a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that search tool. Benton County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Submissions
If you send an email or a message through a contact method, the information you provide may be retained to respond and maintain the correspondence. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data and Cookies
When a browser loads a page, routine technical information may be collected to operate, secure, and understand the service. That information can include:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring site, when one is supplied.
- Dates and times of visits.
Cookies
Cookies and similar browser tools may help measure how visitors use the site. You can limit or block cookies in browser settings, although some features may work differently when those settings are changed.
How Information Is Used
Information helps operate and improve the site and its tools. It may be used to:
- Keep pages available and functioning.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Measure which pages are useful to visitors.
- Identify and correct technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect inferred interests.
External Services and Links
Links may lead to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, and search-provider services. Once you leave Benton County Busted Mugshots, the recipient site's privacy practices and terms apply. Official records can also be subject to the rules that govern the agency holding them, including Missouri's Sunshine Law, Chapter 610, where applicable.
Advertising partners may collect or use data across sites for interest-based advertising through their own systems. Those practices are governed by the partner's policies, not by this Privacy Notice.
Who May Receive Data
Benton County Busted Mugshots does not sell personal data. Information may be disclosed to the following parties when needed for the stated purpose or required by law:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that help measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. Transmission and storage therefore remain subject to risks that cannot be eliminated entirely.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, contact the site so the information can be reviewed for deletion.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information held about you.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Request deletion of information where appropriate.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing.
