Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Palm Beach County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
An email or contact-form message may be retained long enough to review it and provide a response. Its contents are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary web logs and analytics may collect limited technical information when a page loads. That information can include:
- The visitor's Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring page or site, when available.
- Date and time stamps for requests.
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies may be used to understand site use and remember basic preferences. A browser can reject or remove cookies, although parts of the site or an embedded service may then behave differently.
How Information Supports the Site
Collected information is used only for routine site and service functions, including:
- Keeping pages available, responsive, and secure.
- Sending a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understanding which records resources visitors find useful.
- Diagnosing errors and correcting technical problems.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests.
Privacy Beyond This Domain
Links may lead to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Booking Blotter for Main Detention Center and West Detention Center, PBSO Central Records, the Florida Department of Corrections offender search, court portals, federal locators, news sources, and third-party search tools. The destination's policy, not this notice, controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize activity across different sites and select ads. That tracking takes place in the provider's systems and is governed by its disclosures and opt-out choices.
When Data May Be Shared
Personal information is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners that must process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance and use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body responding to a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No website, network, or online storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so this site cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request that it be reviewed and deleted.
Your Privacy Requests
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held by the site.
- Correct personal information that is wrong.
- Delete personal information where deletion is allowed.
- Opt out of processing for which a choice is legally required.
