Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when you use Orange County Busted Mugshots, how that information supports the site, and when service providers or legal authorities may receive it. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices described below.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Visit Details

Standard web systems may record basic technical information when a page loads, including:

  • Your Internet Protocol address.
  • The browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when available.
  • The date and time of each request.

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site. You may block cookies in your browser, although a blocked cookie can cause some features to work differently.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate the site and maintain acceptable performance.
  • Send a submitted search to the selected partner.
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful.

Privacy Beyond This Site

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, record systems, news sources, or outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

Some advertising companies may measure activity across different websites to select ads. That processing occurs on the advertiser's systems, not on this site's own records.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to:

  • Search partners that process a query you submit.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that deliver advertisements.
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

We use customary safeguards suited to this type of website. No internet service is completely secure, however, so we cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, or altered without permission.


Adults Only

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted personal information, use the Contact Us page to request its deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
  • Ask us to erase personal information when applicable.
  • Opt out of certain processing where the law gives that choice.
