Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected when you use Essex County Busted Mugshots, how that information supports the service, and when another party may receive it. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Search Entries

A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those query terms on our systems.

Messages Sent to Us

If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain it as needed to answer. We do not share that message outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Standard web systems may record basic technical and usage details when a page loads:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • The referring site, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You can block them through browser settings, though some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

Other Sites and Services

Some advertising partners may track activity across websites to select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through their systems, not ours.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Measures and Limits

We use standard practices intended to protect information. No internet-connected service is fully secure, however, and we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor submitted information so we can review and delete it.

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask that eligible data be erased
  • Opt out of certain processing where applicable

We may revise this notice as practices or requirements change. The updated text will be posted here with a new effective date.
