Information You Provide
Search Entries
When a visitor enters a name, place, or other search term in a search tool, that entry is sent to the independent provider that operates the tool. Mineral County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s own privacy terms apply to the query after it is submitted.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or other direct message, we may retain the contact details and message content needed to respond. We do not share that message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to comply with a valid legal process.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, our hosting, analytics, and advertising services may receive technical information generated when a page loads. This information can include the following:
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- Referring page or service, if any.
- Access dates and timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure use of the resource and support certain features. A visitor may block or remove cookies through browser controls, although some functions or partner tools may then behave differently.
