Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected through Lake County Busted Mugshots, how it is used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. By using the service, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Choose to Send

Search Terms

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is passed to the outside provider that powers that tool. Lake County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages You Send

If you send an email or contact message, we retain what is needed to answer it. The message is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Normal web logs and measurement tools may collect basic technical details when a page loads, including:

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and software version
  • Device class and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You can block cookies through browser settings, though some functions may then work differently.


How the Data Is Used

Collected data supports operation and improvement of the service. Uses may include:

  • Maintaining site speed and availability
  • Sending search requests to the selected partner
  • Understanding which pages visitors find useful
  • Finding errors and resolving technical faults
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests

Privacy on Linked Services

Links lead to jail rosters, booking feeds, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, and outside search tools. Once you follow a link, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

Some advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. That tracking occurs under the advertiser's practices, not this notice alone.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used to reduce avoidable risk. No website, network, or Internet transmission can be promised as fully secure or immune from a breach.


Adults Only

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and identity verification, you may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal data held about you
  • Correct information that is wrong
  • Delete eligible personal information
  • Opt out of certain forms of processing

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A new version will be posted here with its updated effective date.
