Information You Provide
Search Entries
When a name or location is entered in a site search tool, the query is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Grays Harbor County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's terms and privacy policy govern its handling of the query.
Messages
Information included in an email or contact submission may be kept so that a reply can be made or the message can be handled. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information and Cookies
Like most websites, the site may receive technical information when a page is loaded, including:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring website, when one is supplied
- Date and time of access
Cookie Choices
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, although doing so may change how some features function.
Why Data Is Used
Technical and contact information may be used for the following operational purposes:
- Maintain and improve site performance
- Send a search request to the relevant partner service
- Understand which resources visitors use
- Detect and correct technical problems
- Support advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's interests
External Sites and Advertising
The site links to public jail rosters, booking and release views, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and independent search tools. Once a visitor follows an external link, that destination's privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based advertising. Their activity is governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Notice.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold. It may be shared only with the categories of recipients needed to operate the site or to meet a legal obligation.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics services that help assess site use
- Advertising networks that provide ads or related measurement
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
Security Measures
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information, but no online system can be guaranteed fully secure. The site cannot promise that a transmission, storage system, or service will be free from every security risk.
