Information Provided Directly
Search requests
A name or location entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Grundy County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If a visitor sends a message through an available site contact channel, we keep the information needed to respond and administer that communication. We do not share that message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data From Visits
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive limited technical data when a browser loads a page. This information helps operate and protect the site.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring page or service, when available
- Date and time of the visit
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may help us understand how visitors use the site. A browser can be configured to block or remove cookies, although some features may work differently after that choice.
How Information Is Used
We use available information to operate a useful and secure reference service, rather than to create or host official Grundy County records.
- Operate, maintain, and improve site performance
- Send a search request to the partner service selected by a visitor
- Learn which information pages are useful
- Detect, diagnose, and address technical problems
- Deliver advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests
Outside Websites and Ads
The site links to official jail, court, corrections, and public-record resources, as well as outside search tools. Once a visitor follows one of those links, the receiving service's privacy rules, not this notice, govern the information it collects.
Advertising partners may collect or use data across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Their practices are governed by their own notices and controls.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be shared or processed by the following categories when necessary for the purposes described here.
- Search partners that process a visitor's search request
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that serve advertisements
- Government or law-enforcement authorities when a valid legal order requires disclosure
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information in our possession. Internet-based systems cannot be guaranteed secure, however, and no safeguard can promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has provided personal information through an available contact channel, a parent or guardian may ask that it be deleted.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information we actually hold, a visitor may request a copy of personal information, ask us to correct it, request deletion, or opt out of certain processing. Submit such a request through the Contact Us page and describe the information involved.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as site practices change. Any revised notice will be posted here with an updated effective date.
