Information You Choose to Send
Search Terms
A name, place, or other query entered into a partner-powered search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Greene County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own end. The provider’s own terms and privacy notice govern its handling after the request leaves the page.
Messages and Submissions
Email and contact messages are retained long enough to read, respond, and manage the exchange. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is needed to meet a legal duty, respond to a valid order, protect rights, or address misuse.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most public web pages, a visit can create routine technical records needed to deliver and understand the service. Depending on the hosting, analytics, or advertising setup, those records may include:
- IP address or a shortened form of it
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on each page
- The referring page, when one is supplied
- Visit dates and request timestamps
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the pages, remember a setting, support partner tools, or report ad performance. Browser controls can block or delete cookies. Some parts of a page may work differently when those files are refused.
How the Data Is Used
The information described above supports ordinary site operations and does not turn this service into a government records custodian. Uses may include:
- Keeping the pages available, stable, and responsive
- Sending a search request to the partner service selected by the visitor
- Learning which Greene County records topics are most useful to readers
- Finding errors, abuse, and technical faults
- Showing advertising that may be relevant to general interests
Links and Services Elsewhere
The pages link to outside sources, including the Greene County Sheriff’s Office, the county FOIA form, the Circuit Clerk, IDOC, VINE, BOP, ICE, courts, news outlets, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves these pages, the destination’s privacy policy and data practices apply.
Some advertising partners may use their own systems to observe activity across different websites for interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs under the partner’s controls, not under a promise that Greene County Busted Mugshots can see or manage every downstream record.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold by Greene County Busted Mugshots. Information may nevertheless reach the following categories when needed to provide a feature, measure use, show advertising, or comply with law:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure page use
- Advertising networks and their service providers
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order or other lawful demand
Security Is a Best Effort
Reasonable, customary safeguards are used for the information handled here. No internet-connected service is perfectly secure, however, and no promise can be made that data will never be accessed, changed, lost, or exposed through a failure beyond the service’s control.
Visitors Under 18
These pages are intended for adults. Greene County Busted Mugshots does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information, a parent or guardian may use the published contact route to request that it be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and reasonable verification, a visitor may ask what personal information is held and how it is used. Available requests can include:
- A copy of personal information maintained here
- Correction of inaccurate information in the service’s records
- Deletion of information that the service has no continuing reason to retain
- Opting out of certain processing, cookies, or interest-based advertising where the relevant tool allows it
Changes to This Notice
Privacy practices may change as the pages, hosting, analytics, advertising, or search partners change. A revised notice will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after a revision means the updated notice applies to later activity.
