Information You Provide
Search Entries
When a visitor enters a name or location into a search tool, that entry is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Colleton County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Requests
An email or contact submission may be retained so we can answer the message. We do not share message content outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information Collected
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical information when a page is loaded. That information can include:
- Internet Protocol address information.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring site, if one is supplied.
- Visit date and time information.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site. A visitor may block or delete cookies through browser controls, though certain features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
We use technical and submitted information to operate and improve the site, not to create official Colleton County records. Uses may include:
- Keeping pages available and responsive.
- Sending a search entry to the appropriate partner service.
- Understanding which resources readers use.
- Diagnosing and correcting technical problems.
- Delivering advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Other Sites and Advertising
The site links to sheriff, detention, court, corrections, and third-party search resources, including official Colleton County sources. Once a visitor follows a link, that destination's privacy policy and practices govern the visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising. Their collection does not mean that this site controls their systems or policies.
Possible Data Recipients
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may nevertheless be handled by the following types of recipients when needed to provide a site feature or comply with law:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve advertising.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed completely secure. We cannot promise that a transmission or stored item will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and the data actually held, a visitor may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we maintain.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Delete information when deletion is appropriate.
- Stop certain processing where an opt-out is available.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as the site or its services change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date.
