Privacy Notice

This notice describes how Houston County Busted Mugshots handles information collected through browsing, search features, and messages. It applies to this private reference website, not to HCSO, Houston County Jail, TDOC, or another linked office.

Information You Provide

When you send a message, you may provide your name, email address, and the information included in the message. Please do not send unnecessary sensitive personal information. Messages are used to respond to the inquiry or maintain the service.

Search and Partner Data

Search terms entered into the search feature may be sent to the third-party provider that operates the feature. That provider may have its own privacy terms and collection practices. A search query does not make this website the custodian of an HCSO, court, TDOC, federal, or municipal record.

Automatic Technical Data

Like many websites, we and service providers may receive technical data such as browser type, device information, IP address, pages viewed, referral source, approximate location derived from IP, and access time. Cookies or similar tools may be used to remember settings, measure traffic, detect misuse, support advertising, and improve performance.

How Information Is Used

Information may be used to operate and protect the service, respond to communications, measure usage, troubleshoot, maintain advertising or analytics functions, and comply with legal duties. We do not promise that every linked public-record source is current or complete. Official custodians remain the source for record confirmation.

Other Websites

Links may lead to HCSO, Tennessee agencies, courts, federal locators, news outlets, search partners, or other websites. Their content and privacy practices are outside our control. Review the privacy notice of each outside service before providing information there.

Who May Receive Data

Data may be processed by search partners, analytics providers, advertising networks, hosting or security vendors, and service providers acting for us. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, a valid legal order, or to protect rights, safety, and the service.

Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no online transmission or storage method is fully secure. Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, legal compliance, dispute resolution, or service maintenance.

Children and Your Choices

This service is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly seek their personal data. Depending on applicable law, you may ask about access, correction, deletion, or limits on use of information you provided. We may need to verify a request and may retain information where law permits or requires it.

Notice Changes

We may revise this notice as the service, providers, or legal requirements change. The current version posted here governs future use after publication.
