Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected when you use Lucas County Busted Mugshots, why it is used, and when another party may receive it. By continuing to use the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

Search Entries

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages

We retain email and contact-form messages as needed to respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Automatic Technical Data

A page visit may produce routine technical and usage information, including:

  • Your IP address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent.
  • The referring site, when available.
  • Visit timestamps.

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block them through browser settings, although some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate the site and maintain performance.
  • Send search requests to the selected partner.
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful.
  • Detect and repair technical problems.

Outside Sites and Advertising

Links may lead to sheriff rosters, Iowa corrections pages, government portals, court resources, and independent search tools. After you leave, the destination's privacy terms apply.

Advertising partners may track activity across websites to choose ads. That tracking occurs on their systems, not ours.


When Data Is Shared

We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by:

  • Search partners processing a query.
  • Analytics providers.
  • Advertising networks.
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Security Measures

We use standard safeguards appropriate to the site. No internet-connected system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
