Wayne County Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes the information Wayne County Busted Mugshots may receive, how it is used, and the circumstances in which it may be shared. By using the site, visitors accept these practices and should review the policies of each outside service they choose to use.

Information You Provide

A name, location, or similar term typed into a search box is passed to the independent provider that operates that search function. Wayne County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy notice governs its handling of the query once it receives it.

If a visitor sends an email or other message about this site, the message and supplied contact details may be retained to respond or maintain the correspondence. Those communications are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, needed to protect rights or safety, or authorized by the sender.


Technical Information and Cookies

Like most web services, the site and its service providers may receive technical information when a page loads. This information helps operate the service, understand usage, and diagnose errors.

  • Internet protocol address and general connection information.
  • Browser type, browser version, device type, operating system, and display characteristics.
  • Pages viewed, approximate time spent, referring site when available, and timestamps.
  • Basic log and performance information used to identify faults or misuse.

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, preserve limited preferences, and support advertising or analytics. Browser controls can block or delete cookies, although some site or partner features may then work differently. Third-party services can set their own cookies under their own policies.


How Information Is Used

Information is used for the ordinary operation of a private reference site and its connected services.

  • To maintain, secure, and improve page delivery.
  • To send a submitted search request to the applicable partner service.
  • To learn which materials are useful and where technical problems occur.
  • To answer site-related messages and enforce applicable terms.
  • To support advertising that may be based on interests or browsing signals maintained by advertising providers.

External Services and Links

The site links to official jail inquiries, sheriff and corrections offices, court resources, government portals, and third-party research tools. A visitor who follows one of those links leaves this site’s privacy environment. The destination’s own terms, security practices, and privacy rules apply there.

Advertising providers and other outside services may collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising or measurement on their own systems. Wayne County Busted Mugshots does not control that processing. Visitors can use browser settings and vendor-provided choices to manage certain tracking practices.


Who May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold as a standalone product. It may, however, be processed or received by the following categories when necessary for the functions described here.

  • Search partners that process a submitted query.
  • Hosting, security, and analytics providers.
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements.
  • Professional service providers acting on the site’s behalf.
  • Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security Practices

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information within the site’s control. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, uninterrupted availability, or protection against every unauthorized access event. Visitors should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through ordinary email.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. It does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor sent information to the site may request its deletion through the contacts listed on the Contacts page.


Your Information Choices

Subject to applicable law and the limits of information actually held, a visitor may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal information the site holds about that visitor.
  • Correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Request deletion of personal information where deletion is available.
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing where that option applies.

Requests about a government booking, court, or custody record must go to the agency that created the record. Government access questions may be governed by the Mississippi Public Records Act, Mississippi Code Title 25, Chapter 61, rather than this privacy notice.


Changes to This Notice

This notice may be revised as the site or its services change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use after posting means the visitor accepts the revised notice.
