Information You Provide
Queries sent to a search provider
If a visitor enters a name, location, or similar term into a search tool, the query is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Wichita County Busted Mugshots does not store or keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages sent to us
When someone sends an email or a message, the submitted details may be retained so that the message can be answered. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
As with most web services, basic technical details may be collected when a browser loads a page. The information can include:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring site, when one is provided.
- Access dates and times.
How cookies work here
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site and support its normal operation. A browser can be set to block or remove cookies, though some features may then work differently. Texas Government Code Chapter 552 governs requests to government bodies for public information; it does not change this site’s handling of its own technical data.
Why We Use Information
The limited data described above is used for ordinary site operation and improvement, including the following purposes:
- Maintain and improve site speed and reliability.
- Send a submitted query to the appropriate search partner.
- Understand which reference pages visitors find useful.
- Diagnose and correct technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor’s interests.
Linked Services and Advertising
Links can lead to official jail-roster pages, county and city records offices, court portals, corrections resources, federal locators, and independent search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy policy and practices control the information provided there.
Advertising partners may also collect information across websites for interest-based advertising through their own systems. Wichita County Busted Mugshots does not control those third-party practices.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold by this site. It may be disclosed or processed by the following categories when needed for the stated purposes or when legally required:
- Search partners that receive a query entered into their tool.
- Analytics services used to understand site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertising.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. Transmission, storage, and outside services all carry risk, so the site cannot guarantee that data will never be accessed, changed, or disclosed without authorization.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes that a minor has sent information may request its deletion through Contact Us.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the data actually held, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information held by the site.
- Correct inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of information.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as the site or its practices change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date, and use after posting indicates acceptance of the revised notice.
