Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information may be collected when you use the site, why it is used, and when an outside service may receive it. By continuing to browse or use a search tool, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

A name or place entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Harper County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages You Send

An email or contact message may be retained so we can respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Data

Routine web logs and analytics may collect technical details when a page loads, including:

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Your browser name and version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring site, when available
  • Request dates and timestamps

Cookie Controls

Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site. You can block cookies in the browser, though some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate the site and maintain good performance
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful
  • Diagnose and correct technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Other Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to sheriff, jail, corrections, court, government, news, or third-party search services. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy controls.

Advertising partners may track activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not as a Harper County government function.


Limited Information Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used where practical, but no internet-connected service is completely secure. We cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Adults Only

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask that eligible data be erased
  • Opt out of certain processing where applicable
