Information Provided Directly
Search Requests
When a visitor types a name or location into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. St. Louis County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
Emails and contact submissions may include a name, email address, and message content. We retain that information as needed to respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Technical Information Collected
Like most online services, the site and its service providers can receive technical information as a page loads. That information may include the following:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring site, when one is supplied.
- Dates and times of requests.
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support its operation. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Information collected through the site may be used for ordinary service operations and improvements.
- To operate and maintain the site.
- To route a search query to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which material visitors find useful.
- To diagnose and correct technical problems.
- To display advertising that may reflect inferred interests.
External Sites and Advertising
The site links to government rosters, court portals, Sheriff and corrections pages, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outbound link, the recipient’s privacy policy and data practices control. St. Louis County Busted Mugshots does not control those outside services.
Advertising partners may collect or use information across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Those practices are governed by the partner’s own notices and choices, not by this notice.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may nonetheless be received by the limited categories of recipients needed to run the service or meet a lawful obligation.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertising.
- 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 system can promise complete security, so the site cannot guarantee that a transmission or stored item will never be accessed, changed, or lost without authorization.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, a parent or guardian may request its deletion by contacting us.
Choices About Personal Data
Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask to exercise the following choices concerning personal information held by the site.
- Request a copy of personal information held about them.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Request deletion of personal information where appropriate.
- Opt out of certain processing where that option applies.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may change as the site, vendors, or legal requirements change. A revised notice will be posted here and will carry a new effective date when it takes effect.
