Information You Send
Search entries
Type a name, a location, or any other query into a search tool. It goes straight to the third-party provider that runs that tool. Putnam County Busted Mugshots keeps no log of those search terms on its own systems. What you search for stays between you and the provider.
Messages to the site
Send us an email or a message through a contact form, and we may hold on to what we need in order to read it and reply. Those messages stay inside our organization. The one exception is a legal obligation that compels disclosure.
Automatic Technical Details
Every page load can pass along routine technical details, as happens on most websites. We may receive that data. It helps keep the site running, secure, and better understood.
- Your IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring site, if there was one.
- Dates and times of page requests.
Cookies
Cookies may support normal page functions and give us a picture of how the site is used. Your browser settings let you block or delete them. Just know that some features may behave differently afterward.
How We Use Information
Operating and improving this reference site is the whole job of the limited information described above. The purposes below fall under that umbrella.
- Maintaining site performance and availability.
- Sending a search query to the provider selected for that tool.
- Learning which pages readers find useful.
- Finding and resolving technical problems.
- Displaying advertising that may be relevant to a visitor’s interests.
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links from this site can take you to sheriff rosters, government portals, MODOC, court services, federal locators, or third-party search tools. The moment you leave, the destination's own privacy notice and practices take over. We have no say in how those sites treat data. Advertising partners, likewise, may rely on their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. Their policies govern that activity, not this notice.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is never sold here. Only the parties listed below may receive information, and only as needed for the purposes described here or when law demands it.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics services that help us understand site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertisements.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security, Not a Guarantee
Reasonable safeguards protect the information we handle. Still, no system connected to the internet can promise perfect security. We cannot guarantee that data sent to or from the site will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
Adults are the audience for this site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A minor may still slip something through. If you believe that happened, get in touch. We will review it and delete it where appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
Where applicable law allows, you can ask us to handle the following requests about information we hold directly.
- Request a copy of your information.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Ask us to delete information where appropriate.
- Opt out of certain processing where that choice is available.
Changes to This Notice
This Privacy Notice may change as the site or its services evolve. When a revised version appears, it will be posted on this page along with its effective date.
