Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected when visitors use Orleans County Busted Mugshots, how it may be used, and the choices available to visitors. By using the service, visitors accept these practices and the policies of any outside service they choose to open.

Information Provided by Visitors

Search submissions

A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Orleans County Busted Mugshots does not keep a separate log of those submitted search terms.

Messages

When a visitor sends an email or contact message, we may retain the message and contact details needed to respond. Those details are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data and Cookies

Like most online services, the site and its service providers may receive technical information when a page loads. This information can include:

  • internet protocol address;
  • browser type and version;
  • device type and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent on them;
  • the referring page or service, when available; and
  • date and time records connected to a visit.

Cookie settings

Cookies and comparable technologies can help measure site use and remember technical preferences. A visitor may block or remove cookies through browser controls, although parts of the service may work differently after that choice.


How Data Is Used

Technical and contact information may be used for ordinary site operations. That includes:

  • operating and maintaining the service;
  • sending search submissions to the appropriate partner tool;
  • understanding which information visitors find useful;
  • detecting and correcting performance or security issues; and
  • supporting advertising that may reflect general interests.

External Services and Links

Links may lead to Orleans County offices, courts, corrections systems, federal locators, news outlets, and third-party search tools. Each outside service has its own privacy practices, availability, and rules. This notice no longer governs once a visitor leaves this site.

Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites. That collection occurs under the partner’s policies and systems, not under the direct control of Orleans County Busted Mugshots.


Possible Data Recipients

We do not sell personal data. Information may nevertheless be processed by the following parties when needed for the service:

  • search partners that receive a visitor’s query;
  • analytics providers that measure site performance;
  • advertising networks that deliver or measure ads; and
  • law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.

Security Practices

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service can guarantee complete security, and visitors should avoid sending sensitive documents unless an official agency has provided a secure submission method.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under eighteen. A parent, guardian, or affected visitor may contact us to request deletion of information submitted by a minor.


Privacy Requests

Subject to applicable law, visitors may ask to:

  • receive a copy of personal information held about them;
  • correct information that is inaccurate;
  • request deletion of information where appropriate; or
  • object to certain processing of their information.

Notice Changes

We may revise this Privacy Notice as the service or applicable requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here, and the effective date may be updated with the revision.
