Information You Provide
Search Terms
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Darke County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or other direct message, the information provided may be retained to respond to the message and keep an appropriate communication record. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information
Like most web services, the site and its service providers can receive basic technical information when a page loads. That information can include:
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring site, when one is provided
- Access dates and times
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to understand how visitors use the site. Browser settings can limit or block cookies, although doing so may affect the way some features work.
How Information Is Used
Information collected through normal use may be used for ordinary site operations, including the following purposes.
- Operating, maintaining, and improving the site
- Passing a submitted search to the appropriate partner service
- Understanding which materials visitors find useful
- Detecting, investigating, and resolving technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may be based on interests
External Services and Links
The site links to official jail rosters, sheriff and court resources, corrections systems, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an external link, that destination’s privacy policy and practices control the information it collects. Darke County Busted Mugshots does not control those outside systems.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to collect activity across sites for interest-based advertising. Such activity occurs under the partner’s practices, rather than under the site’s direct control.
When Information May Be Shared
Darke County Busted Mugshots does not sell personal information. Information may nevertheless be disclosed to the limited categories below when needed for the stated purpose.
- Search partners that process a submitted search request
- Analytics providers that help measure site activity
- Advertising networks that serve advertisements
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can guarantee complete security, however, and no method of transmission or storage is breach-proof.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes that a minor has submitted personal information, they may request its deletion through the site’s contact channel.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information actually held, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information associated with a direct message
- Correct information that is inaccurate
- Request deletion of information no longer needed for a legitimate purpose
- Opt out of certain processing where that option is available
