Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information Pickens County Busted Mugshots receives, how it is used, and when it may be shared. It applies to use of this site, including its search tools and contact methods. By using the site, you accept these practices and the separate policies of any outside service you choose to visit.

Information You Provide

Search requests

A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Pickens County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy practices, rather than this notice, govern the information processed after a query reaches that provider.

Messages

If you send an email or message about this site, we may keep the information needed to respond and maintain the conversation. We do not share that message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to protect rights, safety, or the operation of the service.


Technical Data and Cookies

Like most websites, the service and its providers may receive routine technical information when a browser loads a page. This information helps operate the service, measure performance, and investigate errors.

  • Internet protocol address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
  • Referring website, when one is available.
  • Date and time of access.

Cookie choices

Cookies and similar tools may help us understand how visitors use the site. Most browsers allow cookies to be blocked, limited, or deleted through settings. Some features or partner services may work differently when those settings are changed.


How Information Is Used

Information collected through the service is used for ordinary site operations and improvement.

  • Maintain the availability and performance of the site.
  • Send search requests to the selected partner service.
  • Understand which pages and source paths are useful.
  • Find, prevent, and repair technical problems.
  • Display advertising that may be based on interests or browser activity.

Outside Sites and Services

The site links to government record holders, jail and court resources, corrections pages, and third-party search services. For example, South Carolina’s Freedom of Information Act governs public-record access through the responsible agency. Once you follow any outbound link, that destination’s privacy policy, terms, availability, and data handling control.

Advertising partners may use their own technologies to observe activity across sites for interest-based advertising. Those activities occur on the partner’s systems and are governed by the partner’s notices and browser controls.


Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be processed or disclosed to the following recipients when needed for the purpose described in this notice.

  • Search partners that receive and process a submitted query.
  • Analytics providers that help measure site performance.
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements.
  • Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.

Security Practices

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security, however, and no system can promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor submitted information to us, contact us so that we can review and delete it where appropriate.

  • Request a copy of information we hold about you.
