Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes what Mitchell County Busted Mugshots receives when people browse, use a search box, or send a message, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. Using the service means accepting these practices as they are stated here.

Information You Send Directly

Search Terms

A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Mitchell County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy rules apply to the request after it leaves the page.

Messages and Contact Requests

An email or contact message may include the details needed to answer a question about a source path. Those messages are kept for reply and basic recordkeeping. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.


Technical Data From a Visit

Routine server and analytics tools may record technical details when a browser loads a page about Mitchell County records. The categories can include:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on each page
  • The referring website, when one is supplied
  • Date and time stamps for requests

Cookies and Similar Tools

Cookies may help measure how visitors use the service and whether features work as intended. A browser can block or delete cookies. Some functions may look or behave differently when those files are disabled.


Why This Information Is Used

Collected information is used for ordinary operation and measurement, including the following purposes:

  • Keep the service available, stable, and responsive.
  • Send a search request to the partner that supplies the selected tool.
  • Learn which Mitchell County records pages are useful to visitors.
  • Spot and correct technical faults, broken links, and performance issues.
  • Display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's interests.

Links Beyond This Service

Pages may link to official sources such as the Mitchell County Sheriff's Office, the Georgia Department of Corrections, Georgia Courts, and other government or research services. Once a visitor follows a link, that organization's privacy notice and data practices control. Mitchell County Busted Mugshots does not control the outside provider's content, security, or uptime.

Some advertising partners may track activity across more than one website to help deliver targeted advertising. That tracking takes place on the partner's systems and is governed by its own policy, not by this service's page settings.


Who May Receive Information

Personal information is not sold by Mitchell County Busted Mugshots. It may nevertheless be received by the following parties when their role requires it:

  • Search partners that process terms entered into their tools.
  • Analytics providers that measure page use and performance.
  • Advertising networks and their service providers.
  • Law-enforcement or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order or other lawful process.

Security Practices

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information handled through this service. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, and no promise can be made that data will never be exposed through a breach, attack, or failure outside reasonable 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 sent personal data, a parent or guardian may contact the service and ask that it be deleted.


Choices About Your Data

Subject to applicable limits and verification, a person may contact the service to ask what personal data it holds and request:

  • A copy of personal data maintained about that person.
  • Correction of information that is inaccurate.
  • Deletion of information where deletion is appropriate.
  • An opt-out from certain processing activities when that choice is available.

Changes to This Privacy Notice

This notice may be revised as the service, its tools, or its data practices change. A revised version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means the revised notice applies to later visits.
