Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is passed to the third-party provider that operates that search tool. Butte County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy notice controls what happens after the request leaves this site.
Messages and Contact Details
If someone emails the site or sends a contact message, the message and the supplied reply details may be kept so a response can be sent and the exchange can be managed. Those messages are not shared outside the operating organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data Collected on Visits
Web servers and service providers may record routine technical information when a page loads. Depending on the service in use, that information can include:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- Visit and request timestamps.
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site, remember a limited setting, or support analytics and advertising. A browser can block or delete cookies. Some functions may look or behave differently when they are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
Data is used for ordinary operation and maintenance of the Butte County service, including the following purposes:
- Keep pages available, useful, and reasonably fast.
- Send a search request to the correct outside provider.
- Understand which pages and source explanations are useful.
- Find errors, security issues, and performance problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect browsing interests.
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to the Butte County public-records form, Idaho VINE, iCourt, the Idaho Department of Correction, federal locators, sheriff or corrections pages, and third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this service, the destination’s own privacy policy, cookies, security controls, and terms apply.
Some advertising partners may measure activity across different websites to support interest-based advertising. That tracking takes place on their systems under their policies, not under the control of this page.
Who May Receive Data
Butte County Busted Mugshots does not sell personal data. Information may nevertheless be available to the limited groups below when their services or legal duties require it:
- Search partners that receive terms submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure visits and page performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order or other lawful demand.
Security Limits
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for the information handled by this service. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however. This service cannot promise that data will never be intercepted, exposed, altered, or lost, and no promise of breach-free operation is made.
People Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may use Contact Us to request its deletion, subject to any legal duty to retain the message.
Choices About Personal Data
A person may write through Contact Us to ask what personal information this service holds about that person and to request a response about a data choice. Subject to identity checks, legal limits, and technical feasibility, requests may include:
- A copy of personal data held by the service.
- Correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Deletion of information that the service is not required to keep.
- Opting out of certain analytics, advertising, or other processing.
These choices apply to this service only. They do not change a record held by the Butte County Sheriff’s Office, Idaho VINE, iCourt, IDOC, a federal agency, or another linked provider. A request to correct an official booking or court record must go to that record’s custodian.
Policy Changes
Privacy practices may change as the service, vendors, or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted here and will identify a new effective date. Continued use after a change means the revised policy applies to later visits.
