Information You Choose to Submit
Queries Sent Through Search Boxes
When you enter a name or place in a search box, the query goes to the independent provider that operates that tool. Bay County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Emails and Other Messages
If you send an email or contact message, it may be retained long enough to read and answer it. Message contents are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Details Collected During a Visit
Like most websites, this site and its service providers may receive routine technical details when a page loads, including:
- The connecting IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring page, when one is supplied
- Date and time information
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site and keep features working. Browser controls can block or delete cookies, although a search, preference, or advertising feature may then behave differently.
Reasons We Use Collected Data
Collected information is used only for ordinary site operations and related services, such as to:
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance
- Send a search request to the provider selected by the visitor
- Understand which Bay County resource pages visitors use
- Detect errors, misuse, and technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests
Privacy Beyond This Website
Links lead to official custody services, Sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, courts, news sites, and independent search tools. Once you follow a link, the destination’s privacy policy governs what happens there.
Advertising providers may use technology on their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select ads. Their collection and processing are controlled by their policies, not this notice.
Limited Sharing of Information
Bay County Busted Mugshots does not sell personal information. Information may be handled by these limited categories of recipients:
- Search providers that process a submitted query
- Analytics services that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
Security Has Practical Limits
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under the site’s control. No website, network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure, and this notice does not promise protection against every breach.
This Site Is Intended for Adults
The site is intended for people age 18 or older and does not knowingly collect personal information from a minor. If a minor submitted personal information, use Get in Touch to request deletion.
Requests Concerning Your Information
Depending on the law that applies where you live, you may be able to:
- Ask for a copy of personal information held about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask that eligible information be deleted
