Information You Send
Search Requests
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Washington County Busted Mugshots does not keep a separate log of those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Messages sent by email or a contact form may be retained so that a reply can be made. They are not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Technical Information
Like most websites, routine technical data may be received when a page is loaded. It helps operate and secure the service.
- IP address and general connection information
- Browser version, device type, and operating system
- Pages opened, time spent, referring page, and timestamps
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use. Browser settings can limit cookies, though a blocked setting may change how certain features behave.
How Information Is Used
Technical and message data may be used to maintain the site, direct a search request to the relevant partner, understand which local-record pages are useful, correct technical problems, and present advertising that may be relevant to a visitor’s interests.
External Destinations
Links can lead to Washington County Sheriff, PCF, Utah Department of Corrections, court, federal, search-provider, and other external resources. Each outside organization controls its own data practices after a visitor leaves this site. Advertising partners may also measure activity across sites on their own systems.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a product. Limited information can be processed by the parties needed to operate services or comply with law.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics and advertising providers
- Service vendors used to maintain the site
- Law-enforcement or government entities when a valid legal order requires disclosure
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, so visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal details unless a public office specifically directs them to do so through its own official channel.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion through the contact route.
Your Privacy Choices
A visitor may ask for a copy of personal data held in a message record, request correction of inaccurate information, ask for deletion where appropriate, or opt out of certain processing. These requests do not change records held by WCSO, PCF, Utah courts, or any other public office.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may change as site practices or service providers change. A revised version takes effect when posted on this page.
