Information Provided Directly
Search terms
A name, location, or other term entered into a search widget is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Barrow County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those query terms on its own systems.
Messages and submissions
An email or contact message is kept so a reply can be sent and the conversation can be handled. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is needed to comply with law, protect rights, or address a security issue.
Technical Data and Cookies
Routine page requests can produce technical information about the visit, such as:
- IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring site, when available
- Visit timestamps
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the resource and can support site functions. Browser settings can block or delete cookies. Some features may work differently when they are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information may be used to operate and improve the resource, respond to messages, and understand which local records pages are useful.
- Keep pages available and responsive.
- Send a search request to the correct partner service.
- Measure page use and improve explanations.
- Find errors, security concerns, and technical failures.
- Display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Links to Other Providers
Pages link to outside systems such as the BCSO population report, the Barrow County Clerk, the Georgia Department of Corrections, federal locators, news publishers, and search partners. Once a visitor leaves these pages, the provider's own privacy notice and terms apply. Barrow County Busted Mugshots does not control an outside service's collection, storage, uptime, or response.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or similar tools to measure activity across sites and serve targeted ads. That activity occurs on their systems under their policies, not under the control of this resource.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold. Information may still reach the following parties when needed for the stated service or required by law:
- Search partners that process a query submitted through their tool.
- Analytics services that measure page use.
- Advertising networks and their service providers.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order or other lawful demand.
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so no promise is made that every transmission, account, or stored message will be breach-proof.
Visitors Under 18
The resource is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submits information, a parent or guardian may use Contact Us to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and reasonable verification, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held about that person.

- Opt out of certain processing, cookies, or communications.
Send a specific request through Contact Us. A request may need enough detail to locate the relevant message or record.
Changes to This Notice
Privacy practices can change as tools, laws, or services change. A revised notice will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means the revised notice applies to future visits.
