Information Provided Directly
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name or location into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Tioga County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Someone who contacts the site may provide a name, email address, and message. That information is used to read and respond to the inquiry or to address the issue described.
Technical Data and Cookies
Standard technical information may be collected when a page loads to operate, secure, and measure the service. Cookies and similar technologies can support essential functions, preference storage, analytics, and advertising.
- IP address and approximate location derived from it
- Browser, device, and operating-system details
- Pages viewed, referring address, and general visit timing
- Cookie identifiers and comparable technical signals
How Information Is Used
Information is used to keep the service operating, understand broad traffic patterns, respond to messages, protect against abuse, and improve page performance and content. It may also support advertising and measurement functions performed by providers working with the site.
Linked Services
Pages may link to Sheriff, jail, court, corrections, federal, and third-party search resources. Once a visitor follows an outbound link, the receiving organization’s privacy policy applies. The site does not control that organization’s collection, availability, or data practices.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising through their own systems. Those partners, not this site, govern that processing under their policies.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone product. It may be disclosed where needed for the uses above or where the law requires it.
- Search-tool, hosting, analytics, and advertising providers
- Service vendors that help operate or secure the site
- Government or law-enforcement authorities responding to a valid legal order
- A successor entity if the service is transferred or reorganized
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical steps are used to protect information, but no internet-connected system can promise absolute security. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal information through ordinary contact channels.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion through the Contact Us page.
Access and Deletion Requests
Subject to applicable law, a visitor may ask about personal information held by the site, request a correction, or request deletion. A request does not govern information independently held by a Sheriff, court, search provider, or another linked organization.
