Information Sent Directly
Search terms
A name or location entered into a search widget is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. Brunswick County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own system.
Messages
Email and contact messages are retained so a reply can be made and the conversation can be handled. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected
When a page loads, ordinary technical details may be received for delivery, security, measurement, and troubleshooting:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on each.
- Referring website, if one is supplied.
- Access timestamps.
Cookies and similar tools
Cookies help understand how visitors use the pages. Browser settings can block them, although some features may work differently when they are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information may be used to keep the service available, route a search request to the right partner, understand which pages help readers, diagnose faults, and display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor.
Links Beyond This Site
Pages link to BCSO rosters and booking reports, municipal police pages, courts, state corrections, federal locators, news publishers, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves for another service, that service’s privacy policy governs its handling of information.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different websites for interest-based advertising. That activity occurs on their systems, not as a promise that Brunswick County Busted Mugshots can see or control it.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be provided to the following parties when needed for the stated service or required by a valid legal order:
- Search partners processing a submitted query.
- Analytics providers measuring page use.
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal demand.
Security Limits
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected system is fully secure. The site cannot promise that information will never be accessed, lost, or exposed through an event outside its control.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may ask for it to be deleted through the contact route.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and what the service actually holds, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held.
- Correct inaccurate information.
- Request deletion.
- Opt out of certain processing.
Requests should identify the data and the email or route used to submit it.
Policy Changes
This policy may be revised as the service or its vendors change. A revised version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after posting means the revised terms apply.
