Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
When you type a name, place, or other term into a partner-powered search tool, that query passes to the third-party provider operating the tool. Kings County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's rules govern its handling of the query.
Emails and Messages
If you send an email or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Information
Basic technical and usage information may be recorded when a page loads. This information can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name and version.
- The device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You can block or remove cookies through your browser settings, though a blocked cookie may cause some features to work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports normal site operation and helps us understand broad usage patterns. We may use it to:
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Assess which Kings County pages visitors find useful.
- Detect, diagnose, and repair technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to the Kings County inmate locator, booking views, Sheriff's pages, Superior Court portal, CDCR or federal locators, and outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy notice and data practices apply.
Some advertising partners may use their systems to observe activity across multiple websites and select interest-based ads. That cross-site tracking occurs through the partner's technology, not through a records database operated by Kings County Busted Mugshots.
Possible Data Recipients
We do not sell personal information. Depending on how you use the site, data may be processed by:
- Search partners that receive and process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard, reasonable practices to protect information in our control. No website, network, or Internet transmission can be guaranteed secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Rights can vary by location and by whether a law applies to a particular operator. California residents may review the state's California Consumer Privacy Act guidance. You may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate.
- Delete information when the request is legally available.
- Opt out of certain forms of data processing.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as the site or applicable practices change. A new version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
