Information You Provide
Search Queries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Pierce County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own end.
Messages
If you send an email or other message, the message and the contact details supplied with it may be retained to respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information and Cookies
Like most websites, the service receives routine technical information when a page loads. That information can include:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring site, when one is available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the service and support ordinary site functions. Browser controls can block or clear cookies, though some features may then work differently.
How the Information Is Used
The limited information described above helps operate and maintain the service. It may be used to:
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send a search request to the applicable partner service
- Understand which record-reference pages are useful
- Detect and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests
Linked Services Have Their Own Policies
This site links to independent sources, including the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, the county public-records page, court resources, state corrections pages, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this service, that destination’s privacy policy and terms control its handling of information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across sites for interest-based advertising. Those practices occur under the partner’s policies, not this service’s direct control.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone product. It may be disclosed or made available to:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that help measure site performance
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertisements
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information handled by the service. No internet-connected system can promise complete security, so this notice does not guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has provided personal information, contact the service to request deletion.
Your Choices and Requests
Subject to applicable law and the information actually held, you may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information held about you
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Request deletion of personal information
- Opt out of certain processing where that option applies
Changes to This Notice
This Privacy Notice may be revised as the service changes. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date.
