Information You Provide
Search Tool Entries
A name, location, or other text entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Hancock County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages You Send
If you send an email or submit a contact message, the information supplied may be retained to respond to the request or maintain the correspondence. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

- Internet protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring page or service, if available
- Date and time of the visit
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can be configured to decline cookies, although some features may behave differently when cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Collected information may be used for the ordinary operation and maintenance of the service, including the following purposes:

- Understanding which material visitors find useful
- Diagnosing and correcting technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may be relevant to an interest
Outside Services and Links
The site links to public custody systems, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, booking resources, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and practices of the destination control. Review those policies before providing information to an outside service.

Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information. No internet-connected service can guarantee complete security, however, and no method of storage or transmission is breach-proof.
