Information You Send
Search Terms
A name or location entered in a search box goes to the outside provider that runs that tool. Tennessee Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own system.
Messages
If you send a message or use a contact form, the information is kept so it can be read and answered. It is not shared outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Technical Details and Cookies
Each page load may create basic technical data about the visit, including:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on each
- Referring page, when one is sent
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You can block them in your browser settings, though some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How We Use Information
Technical and message data support the service and help keep its pages useful.
- Operate the site and keep it responsive
- Send search requests to the selected partner service
- Learn which pages visitors use
- Find and fix site errors
- Show ads that may relate to visitor interests
When You Follow a Link
Links lead to county jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court and government portals, other county sites, and outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination's own privacy policy applies to the information it collects.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different sites to choose ads. That tracking takes place on the partner's systems, not on this site's own pages.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared with the service providers needed to run the site or when a valid legal order requires it.
- Search partners that handle queries entered in their tools
- Analytics services that measure page use
- Advertising networks that select or serve ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Data Security
We use common security practices to protect information we handle. No system connected to the internet is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. If a minor has sent information, a parent or guardian may use the Contact Us page to ask that it be removed.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the information involved, you may ask to exercise these choices:
- Request a copy of personal data held about you
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong
- Request that personal data be erased
- Opt out of certain forms of processing
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may change as the service changes. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date.
