Information You Provide
Search Terms
If you enter a name, location, or other term into a search tool, that query is sent to the independent provider operating the tool. Jim Hogg County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages You Send
If you voluntarily send a message through a site contact channel, we may retain the message and related contact details to respond or maintain the correspondence. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive technical information when a page loads. This information can include:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Visit dates and timestamps.
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies and similar technologies may help us understand how visitors use the site and support site functions. You can block or remove cookies through your browser settings, although some features may respond differently when cookies are disabled.
Why We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the site.
- To pass a voluntary search request to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which records-guidance pages visitors find useful.
- To identify and address technical errors, abuse, or performance problems.
- To support advertising that may be based on interests.
External Sites and Advertising
This guide links to official county offices, courts, custody locators, records-request information, and third-party search tools. Once you follow an outside link, that site’s own privacy notice and practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and to deliver interest-based advertising. Those systems operate under the partner’s policies, not this site’s policy.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be received by the following parties when needed for the uses described above:
- Search partners that process a query you choose to submit.
- Analytics providers that help measure site use.
- Advertising networks that provide or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Measures
We use reasonable, standard safeguards intended to protect information under our control. No website, transmission, or online storage system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information through a site contact channel, ask for its deletion through the available contact route.
Your Privacy Choices
- You may ask whether we hold a copy of personal information you provided directly.
- You may ask us to correct personal information that is inaccurate.
- You may request deletion of personal information, subject to legal or operational retention needs.
- You may opt out of certain processing where that option applies.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as site practices change. Any revision will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
