Information Provided by a Visitor
Search entries
A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Harrison County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or a message, we may retain the message and the contact details supplied with it so that we can respond. We do not share a message outside our organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Technical Data Collected During Visits
Like most websites, the site and its service providers can receive routine technical details when a page loads. That information may include:
- The internet protocol address used to reach the site.
- The browser, its version, and the device operating system.
- The device type and general display characteristics.
- Pages viewed, time spent on them, and visit timestamps.
- The referring page or website, when one is available.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools can help measure how visitors use the site and support its operation. A visitor may block cookies through browser settings, although some features may then work differently.
How We Use Data
The information described above may be used to operate and improve the site, direct a search request to the appropriate partner, understand which pages are useful, diagnose technical problems, and support advertising that may be tailored to interests.
Other Websites and Services
The site links to resources such as the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office, the HCSO public-resources page, court portals, Mississippi Department of Corrections pages, and independent search providers. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that organization’s privacy terms and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may also collect activity across different sites on their own systems to deliver interest-based advertising. Their tracking is governed by their policies, not this notice.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be received by the service providers needed to run the site or meet a valid legal obligation, including:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics services that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that provide advertising functions.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.
Security Measures
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information in our possession. No internet-connected system can guarantee complete security, so we cannot promise that a transmission or stored item will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes that a minor has submitted personal information, they may contact us to request its deletion.
Choices About Personal Data
Subject to applicable law and practical verification of a request, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data we hold.
- Correct personal data that is inaccurate.
- Request deletion of personal data.
- Opt out of certain processing where that option applies.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as the site or its services change. A revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
