Information You Provide
Search Entries
A name, location, or other query entered into a search feature is sent to the third-party provider that operates that feature. Cooke County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or submit a contact message, we may retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that message outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Technical Information Collected
Like most websites, the service receives limited technical data automatically when a browser requests a page. This helps operate the site and understand performance issues.
- The IP address used for the connection.
- The browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is provided.
- The date and time of a request.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site. You can limit or block cookies through browser settings, although some features may work differently when those settings are changed.
How Information Is Used
Information collected through site activity is used for ordinary operation and improvement, including the following purposes.
- Operate the site and improve its speed and reliability.
- Send a submitted search to the appropriate partner service.
- Learn which reference pages are useful to visitors.
- Diagnose and correct technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests.
Other Websites and Advertising
The site links to government portals, sheriff and corrections pages, custody tools, court resources, and third-party search services. Once you follow a link, the receiving service’s privacy notice and practices govern information you provide there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and present interest-based ads. That activity occurs under those partners’ policies rather than this site’s internal records system.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to service providers or public authorities in these situations.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that help measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Safeguards and Limits
We use reasonable administrative and technical practices to protect information in our possession. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, and we cannot promise that a transmission or stored data will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
