Information Sent Directly
Search terms
A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Burke County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and contact requests
Email messages or contact-form submissions are kept long enough to read and answer. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server and analytics systems may record technical details when a page loads, including:
- IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring site, when one is supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may help show how visitors use the pages and whether features work. Browser settings can block or delete cookies. Some functions may behave differently when they are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports ordinary operation and maintenance of the service. It may be used to:
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send search requests to the selected partner
- Understand which Burke County records pages are useful
- Find errors and address technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests
Links to Records Systems
Pages may link to the Burke County Sheriff's Office and Burke County Jail, including the Interop roster and booking views, the Burke County Clerk, Georgia courts and Open Records guidance, the Georgia Department of Corrections, and official BOP or ICE locators. Once a visitor leaves these pages, the destination's own privacy terms govern its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to observe activity across different sites for interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs on the partner's service, not under the control of the Burke County jail or any government office.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold by Burke County Busted Mugshots. It may nevertheless be processed by the following parties:
- Search providers that receive terms entered into their tools
- Analytics services that measure page use
- Advertising networks and their service vendors
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Is Best Effort
Reasonable security practices are used for information handled by the service. No internet-connected system is completely secure, so Burke County Busted Mugshots cannot promise that data will be immune from every breach, attack, or unauthorized access.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor sent information, a parent or guardian may use the Get in Touch page to request that it be removed.
Available Data Choices
Subject to applicable law and reasonable verification, a person may ask about information held in connection with a direct submission. Available requests include:
- A copy of personal information maintained about the requester
- Correction of inaccurate information
- Deletion of information that can lawfully be erased
- Opting out of certain forms of processing
