Privacy Notice for This Service

This notice explains the information Harrison County Busted Mugshots receives, the limited ways that information is used, and the circumstances in which it may be shared. It applies to activity on this private reference service, including a visitor’s use of a partner-powered search feature. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here. Official Harrison County and Ohio record custodians maintain their own separate policies.

Information Provided by Visitors

Partner Search Entries

A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Harrison County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to the Service

An email or message submitted through a contact channel may be retained to respond to it. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, the service may receive routine technical information when a page is loaded. That information can include the following:

  • IP address
  • browser type and version
  • device type and operating system
  • pages viewed and time spent on each page
  • referring website, when available
  • date and time of activity

Cookies

Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site. A browser can be configured to block cookies, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

Technical and voluntarily supplied information is used only for ordinary operation, maintenance, and improvement of the service, including these purposes:

  • operating and improving site performance
  • sending a search request to the appropriate partner service
  • understanding which guide pages visitors find useful
  • detecting and correcting technical problems
  • displaying advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests

External Sites and Advertising

The service links to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, public-record, and partner-search resources. Once a visitor follows a link, the receiving site’s privacy policy and practices control that visit.

Advertising partners may track activity across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Harrison County Busted Mugshots does not control those partners’ separate practices.


Parties That May Receive Data

Personal data is not sold. It may be disclosed or processed by the following categories of recipients when needed for the stated purpose or required by law:

  • search partners that handle a submitted query
  • analytics providers
  • advertising networks
  • law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order

Security Practices

The service uses reasonable, standard safeguards intended to protect information. No internet-connected system can promise complete security, and no breach-proof guarantee is made.


Visitors Under 18

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, a deletion request may be made through the site’s contact channel.

  • receive a copy of information held about the visitor
