Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information this site may collect, how it is used, and the circumstances in which it may be shared. By using Mathews County Busted Mugshots, you accept these practices.

Information You Send

Search entries

A name, place, or similar term submitted through a site search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. We do not retain or log those search terms on our own systems.

Messages

If you send a message to us, we may keep the information in that message to respond or maintain correspondence. We do not share it outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Information Collected by Site Activity

Like many websites, we and service providers may receive technical information when a page is loaded. That information can include:

  • Internet protocol address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device category and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • Referring website, when one is provided.
  • Visit date and time.

Cookies

Cookies and comparable tools may help us understand how the site is used. Browser controls can limit or block cookies, although parts of the site or an outside service may then work differently.


How We Use Information

We use available information to operate and improve the site and its services, including to:

  • Maintain site performance and delivery.
  • Pass a search request to the relevant partner tool.
  • Understand which information pages are useful to visitors.
  • Diagnose and address technical problems.
  • Display advertising that may be tailored to interests.

External Websites and Advertising

This site links to official jail and court resources, Sheriff's Office pages, corrections resources, government portals, and outside search tools. Once you follow an external link, that provider's privacy notice and practices apply.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor advertisements. Their activity occurs under their own policies, not this site's policy.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Information may nevertheless be available to the following recipients when necessary for the services described here:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query.
  • Analytics providers that measure site activity.
  • Advertising networks that deliver advertisements.
  • Law enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal requirement.

Safeguards

We use reasonable measures intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure, however, and we cannot promise that a security incident will never occur.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If a minor has sent us personal information, contact us to request its deletion.


Your Information Choices

You may ask about information we hold about you. Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, you may request:

  • A copy of personal information we have retained.
  • Correction of inaccurate information.
  • Deletion of information where appropriate.
  • Opting out of certain processing where that option applies.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice as site practices or legal obligations change. A revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
