Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, place, or other term entered into a site search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Brazos County Busted Mugshots does not maintain a separate log of those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
When someone emails or sends a message, the contact details and message may be retained long enough to respond, maintain the conversation, or meet a legal obligation. They are not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Web servers and service providers can receive routine technical information as a visitor loads a page. This information helps operate and secure the service.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent there
- Referring website, when one is supplied
- Visit timestamps
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how people use the site. Browser settings can limit or block cookies, though some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Information is used for ordinary site operations and improvement, not sold as a standalone personal-data product.
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send a search request to the selected partner service
- Understand which resources readers find useful
- Diagnose technical errors and protect the service
- Support advertising that may be relevant to visitors
Linked Services and Websites
The site links to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, and other source pages. Their privacy practices apply after a visitor leaves this site. Texas public-record access is governed separately by laws such as Texas Government Code Chapter 552.
Advertising partners may also collect activity across sites on their own systems for interest-based advertising. Their practices are controlled by their own notices.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. It may, however, be handled by the service providers necessary to run the site or by public authorities when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under lawful process
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information, but no connected system can promise complete security. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive material through ordinary email or a contact form unless necessary.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from people under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion through the contact route.
Your Information Choices
A person may ask about personal information held through a direct message or contact request. Subject to applicable law and verification, available choices include:
- Requesting a copy of stored personal information
- Correcting inaccurate contact information
- Requesting deletion where retention is not required
- Opting out of certain processing where that option applies
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as the site or its services change. The current version will be posted here, and the effective date may be updated with the revision.
