Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes what Spalding County Busted Mugshots receives when visitors use its pages, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. Using the site means accepting these practices. Government destinations linked from the pages, including Spalding County custody sources and the Georgia Department of Corrections, have their own rules.

Information You Submit

Queries Sent to Partners

When a visitor enters a name or location into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Spalding County Busted Mugshots does not store or log that search term on its own system. The provider's handling of the query is governed by the provider's own privacy terms.

Messages and Contact Requests

Email messages and contact-form submissions are kept long enough to read and answer. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required. A message should contain only the detail needed to describe the question.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Like most web pages, a page load can produce basic technical details about the visit. Depending on the hosting and analytics configuration, those details can include:

  • IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on each page
  • Referring website, when one is supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies and Similar Tools

Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the pages and to support site functions. Browser settings can block or delete cookies. Some features may work differently when cookies are blocked.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports ordinary operation and maintenance of the service. Uses can include:

  • Keeping the pages available and responsive
  • Sending search requests to the selected partner tool
  • Learning which pages are useful to visitors
  • Finding errors and resolving technical problems
  • Showing advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Links to Other Services

Pages may link to the Spalding County Sheriff's Office current-inmate catalog for the detention center, its recent-arrest catalog, the daily bulletin, the Sheriff's Office, the Georgia Department of Corrections offender search, court portals, federal locators, and third-party search tools. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy and data practices govern that visit. Spalding County Busted Mugshots does not control the destination's content, retention, or security.

Some advertising partners may observe activity across different websites to support interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs on the partners' systems and is controlled by their policies, not by this page.


Who May Receive Information

Personal information is not sold. It may be available to the following parties when needed for the purposes above or when the law requires disclosure:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Analytics providers that measure page use
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Is a Best Effort

Reasonable standard security practices are used for an internet service, but no connected system is completely secure. Spalding County Busted Mugshots cannot promise that data will be breach-proof or that every transmission will remain free from risk.


Visitors Under 18

The service is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information, a parent or guardian may use the Contact Us page to ask that it be deleted.


Choices About Your Data

Subject to applicable limits, a visitor may ask about personal information held by this service. Requests can seek:

  • A copy of data held about the requester
  • Correction of inaccurate information
  • Deletion of information that can lawfully be erased
  • Opt-out of certain processing or communications

Send a request through Contact Us with enough detail to identify the request, but do not include unrelated sensitive information.


Changes to This Policy

This policy may be revised as the service, partners, or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted here with a new effective date or revision notice. Continued use after the update means the revised practices apply to later visits.
