Information Sent Directly
Search terms
A name, place, or other phrase entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Wayne County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider controls its own retention and privacy practices.
Messages and submissions
If a visitor sends an email or other message through an available contact route, the message and reply details may be kept long enough to answer, maintain a record of the exchange, and handle a follow-up. Those messages are not shared outside the operating organization unless disclosure is legally required or needed to address a security or legal issue.
Technical Data and Cookies
Routine server and analytics systems may collect technical details when a page loads. The exact fields depend on the hosting, analytics, advertising, and search services in use.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring page, when one is supplied.
- Dates and timestamps for requests.
Cookies and similar tools
Cookies or similar files may help measure how visitors use the pages, remember a setting, support a search tool, or report advertising activity. Browser settings can block or delete cookies. Some features may work differently when they are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used for ordinary service and maintenance purposes.
- Keep the pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- Send search requests to the provider selected for that tool.
- Understand which pages are useful and where visitors encounter trouble.
- Find, diagnose, and correct technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's interests.
These uses do not make the service a government records custodian. Official custody and case records remain with the agency or court that created them.
Links and Outside Services
Pages link to sheriff and jail inquiries, booking-record routes, police departments, courts, corrections agencies, federal locators, news outlets, and third-party search tools. Examples include the Wayne County sheriff page, the Wayne County Jail listing, the Georgia Courts access directory, and the Georgia Department of Corrections offender page. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy notice, terms, uptime, and data practices apply. Wayne County Busted Mugshots does not control those systems.
Some advertising partners may measure activity across sites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Their collection and opt-out choices are governed by their policies. A link or search box does not mean that the destination is endorsed or that its results are complete.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold by the operating service. It may nevertheless reach the following parties when a visitor uses a relevant feature or when the law requires disclosure:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure page use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable standard safeguards are used for the systems under the operator's control. No internet-connected service is fully secure, however, and no promise can be made that data will never be exposed, lost, or accessed without permission.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may ask that it be identified and deleted through the available contact route.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and reasonable verification, a visitor may ask about information held by the operator.
- Request a copy of personal information maintained by the operator.
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected.
- Request deletion where retention is not required.
- Opt out of certain processing or interest-based advertising where a provider offers that control.
Requests should identify the information at issue and include enough detail for a response. A request may not control data kept by a linked government office, search partner, analytics provider, or advertising network.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised when the service, vendors, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means the revised practices apply to future use.
