Information You Submit
Partner search entries
A name, location, or similar term entered into a site search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Georgetown County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s own notices and terms apply to the information sent through its tool.
Messages and requests
If you send an email or other message to the site, the information in that communication may be kept so a response can be provided. It is not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like many websites, the site may receive routine technical information when a browser loads a page. This information helps operate the site, measure basic performance, and diagnose errors.
- Your IP address.
- Your browser and browser version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.

Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support site features. Most browsers allow visitors to block or delete cookies through browser settings. A blocked cookie can cause some features to work differently.
How Information Is Used
The information described above is used for ordinary site operations and improvement, not to create an official criminal-record file.
- To keep the site available and responsive.
- To pass a search request to the provider selected by the visitor.
- To understand which site content readers use.
- To identify and correct technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on interests.
External Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to official jail rosters, booking pages, sheriff and corrections resources, government portals, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the receiving service’s privacy policy governs its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners can use their own systems to measure activity across websites and to deliver interest-based advertising. Those systems operate under the partners’ own policies, not under this Privacy Notice.
When Data May Be Shared
Personal information is not sold. Limited information can be received by the following parties when needed for the service or required by a valid legal order.
- Search partners that process a visitor’s query.
- Analytics providers used to understand site activity.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertising.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, and this site cannot promise that an unauthorized access event will never occur.
