Information Visitors Send
Search Terms
A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Calhoun County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider receives and handles the query under its own privacy rules.
Messages to the Service
Email and contact-form messages are kept as needed to read, answer, and preserve the conversation. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to address a legitimate security or service issue.
Technical Data Collected
Like most web pages, the service may receive basic technical details when a browser loads a Calhoun County page. This information helps diagnose access problems and understand broad use patterns:
- The visitor's IP address.
- The browser name and version.
- The device type and operating system.
- The pages viewed and the time spent on each page.
- The referring site, when a referral is supplied.
- Request and page-load timestamps.
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the pages and to support normal site functions. Browser settings can block or delete cookies. Some features may act differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Information is used for ordinary service operations and for the limited functions described below. It is not turned into an official county record.
- Keep the pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- Send a search request to the partner service selected for that tool.
- Learn which Calhoun County pages are useful to visitors.
- Find errors, abuse, and technical faults that need attention.
- Display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's interests.
Links Beyond Calhoun Pages
The site links to the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office, the Calhoun County Jail profile, the Calhoun County Superior Court Clerk, GDC offender services, federal locators, news outlets, and other resources. The Wanted Fugitives and Arrest News pages also contain outbound links. Once a visitor leaves this service, the destination's privacy notice and data practices control.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different sites on their own systems to help provide targeted ads. That partner tracking is not controlled by Calhoun County Busted Mugshots. Review the partner's notices and browser controls if that activity is a concern.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold by this service. It may be available to the following categories when their role requires it:
- Search partners that receive a query submitted through their tool.
- Analytics providers that help measure page use and technical performance.
- Advertising networks and their service providers.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Efforts
Reasonable, standard security practices are used to protect information handled by the service. No system connected to the Internet is completely secure, however, and no promise can be made that data will be immune from every breach, attack, or unauthorized access.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor sent information, a parent or guardian may use the Contact Us page to request that it be deleted.
Choices About Your Data
Subject to applicable law and the limits of information held by the service, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held about the visitor.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Have eligible personal data erased.
- Opt out of certain forms of processing or partner use.
Requests can be sent through Contact Us. A request may need enough detail to identify the relevant message, cookie, or account record, and some data may be retained when a legal or security reason requires it.
Changes to This Notice
These practices may change as the service, technology, or legal requirements change. A revised notice will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means the revised practices apply to future use.
