Information That May Arrive
A search submitted through an embedded partner tool may pass the entered name and related form data to that provider. The provider controls its own processing, terms, and retention. A message sent to this site may include the sender’s contact details and whatever the sender chooses to write.
Servers and service providers may also record technical details such as an IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, approximate region, and the time of a request. Cookies or similar tools may remember settings, measure traffic, support site functions, or deliver advertising. The exact tools can change as vendors change.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the pages; answer a message; understand traffic; prevent abuse; measure advertising; and keep links and content useful. Search data is not an official records request, and sending a name through a partner form does not ask the Sheriff, jail, police department, or court to confirm a record.
Orange County Busted Mugshots does not promise that a third-party search tool will return a complete or correct result. A user should read the provider’s own privacy notice before submitting information and should avoid entering sensitive details into a general search box.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Data may be received by hosting companies, search partners, analytics providers, advertising networks, email or contact vendors, and security services that help operate the pages. Information may also be disclosed when needed to comply with a subpoena, court order, legal process, or lawful request from law enforcement, or to protect rights, safety, and system security.
Links to the Orange County Sheriff, city police, courts, DAC, BOP, ICE, and news outlets take users to other organizations. Their privacy practices apply once a user leaves these pages. This site does not control their forms, cookies, records, or security.
Cookies and Choices
Most browsers let a user block or delete cookies, limit site data, or send privacy signals. Blocking a cookie can affect a preference or partner tool. A third-party provider may offer its own opt-out or account controls. Advertising choices can also be managed through the applicable ad network, though no control works for every vendor or device.
Security Is a Best Effort
Reasonable safeguards may be used, but no website, email channel, or internet transmission is guaranteed secure. Do not send passwords, financial account details, medical information, immigration identifiers, or unnecessary personal records through a contact form. Official custody and court questions belong with the responsible government office.
Children and User Rights
These pages are not directed to people under 18, and the site does not knowingly seek personal information from children. North Carolina and other laws may provide rights to ask what personal information is held, request correction, seek deletion where applicable, or object to certain uses. A request may need enough detail to verify the requester, and legal exceptions can limit what can be supplied.
To ask about a privacy matter, use the Get in Touch page. Do not send a juvenile record or a private person’s sensitive information just to identify a page.
Updates to This Notice
This notice may be revised when the site, vendors, laws, or data practices change. The revised version takes effect when posted. Continued use after an update means the updated notice applies to future activity.
