Information You Provide
Search Tool Entries
When you type a name or location into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Jackson County Busted Mugshots does not store or log the search terms on its own systems.
Email and Other Messages
If you email us or send another direct message, we may retain the information needed to respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
As with most websites, technical information may be recorded when a page loads to operate, secure, and understand the site.
- Your IP address
- Your browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is available
- Date and time stamps associated with activity
Cookies
Cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. You may block cookies in your browser settings, although some site functions may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How We Use Information
- Operate and improve the site’s performance
- Pass a search request to the appropriate outside search provider
- Learn which guides and links visitors find useful
- Identify, diagnose, and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests
External Websites and Advertising
This site links to official jail information, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, government resources, and third-party search services. Once you follow an outbound link, that destination’s privacy policy governs its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may track activity across websites to provide interest-based advertising. Any such tracking occurs under the partner’s own systems and policies, not under this site’s control.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared only with the limited categories below when necessary for the stated purpose or when law requires it.
- Search providers that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers used to understand site activity
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Practices
We use reasonable, standard safeguards intended to protect information. No internet-connected service can guarantee complete security, however, and we cannot promise that a system will never be compromised.
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 supplied information, please ask for its removal through Get in Touch.
Your Choices About Data
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of information, subject to applicable obligations
- Opt out of certain processing where that option applies
These requests concern this private site. A request for a county agency record follows Wisconsin Public Records Law, Wis. Stat. §§19.31–19.39, and should be made to the government records custodian.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as site practices change. Any updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
