Privacy Notice

This notice explains the information that may be collected when you use Allegany County Busted Mugshots, how it may be used, and the circumstances in which it may be shared. By using the site, you accept these practices.

Information you provide

Search entries

A name, place, or other term submitted through a search tool is transmitted to the independent provider that operates that tool. The site does not keep a separate log of those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

If you send a message or email, the contact information and message may be retained so a response can be made. It is not disclosed outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical data

Like most websites, the service and its providers may collect routine technical details when a page is loaded.

  • Internet protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device and operating-system information
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent
  • Referring site, when provided
  • Access dates and times

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may help measure site use and remember basic preferences. Browser settings can limit cookies, although parts of a tool or site may then work differently.


How data is used

Collected information may be used to operate and improve the site and its services.

  • Maintain performance and reliability
  • Send a submitted search to its partner service
  • Understand which pages visitors use
  • Diagnose and correct technical problems
  • Deliver advertising that may be interest-based

Outside websites

The site links to jail rosters, government offices, court services, corrections portals, and outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the receiving service’s privacy practices apply. Review that service’s notice before submitting information.

Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across sites and present targeted advertising. That processing occurs under the partner’s own policies.


Potential recipients

Personal information is not sold as a product. It may be processed or disclosed to the following categories when needed for the purposes described here.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law-enforcement or government entities responding to a valid legal requirement

Security practices

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security. Use of the site is therefore subject to the ordinary risks of electronic communications.


Visitors under 18

This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact the site to request its deletion.

Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask about personal data held through a direct contact.
