Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information Johnston County Busted Mugshots and its partners may receive when someone uses the site, how that information is handled, and the choices available to visitors.

Information You Provide

A name, location, or other query entered into a search box is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. This site does not maintain a separate log of those query terms. Review that provider's own privacy terms before submitting information.

If a visitor sends a message, the submitted contact details and message may be retained long enough to respond or maintain the correspondence. They are not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most web services, the site and its service providers may collect technical information during a page visit.

  • Internet protocol address and general connection information.
  • Browser type, version, device type, and operating system.
  • Pages viewed, time spent, referring page, and timestamps.
  • Cookies or similar identifiers used for site operation, measurement, or advertising.

Browser settings can block or clear cookies, though some features may behave differently after that choice.


How Data Is Used

Technical and message data may be used to operate the service, route a query to the selected partner, understand which pages are useful, diagnose errors, secure the site, and support advertising. It is not used to create or host official Johnston County records.


Outside Services and Links

The site links to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, federal, and other resources. Once a visitor selects an outside link, that service's privacy terms govern the interaction. Advertising partners may collect activity across sites on their own systems for interest-based advertising.


Who May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold as a standalone product. It may be processed by search partners handling a submitted query, analytics providers, advertising networks, and government or law-enforcement authorities when a valid legal order requires it.


Security Practices

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security, so visitors should avoid placing sensitive information into a general message or third-party search box unless the receiving service calls for it.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal information may request deletion through the available contact channel.


Your Information Choices

A visitor may ask about personal information held in a message record, request a correction, request deletion where appropriate, or opt out of certain processing. The request may require enough information to confirm that it concerns the correct person and record.


Changes to This Notice

This notice may be updated as the site, partners, or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when posted with its updated text.
