Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected when someone visits Owen County Busted Mugshots, how that information is used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. Continued use of the site means acceptance of these practices.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party company that operates that tool. Owen County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy rules govern its handling of the search.

Messages Sent to Us

If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement compels disclosure.


Technical Visit Information

Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may collect technical details when a page loads. These details can include:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Browser Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support site or advertising functions. You can limit or block cookies through browser settings, although doing so may cause some features to work differently.


Reasons We Use Data

  • Operate the site and maintain reasonable speed
  • Send search requests to the selected partner tool
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful
  • Detect faults and repair technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Other Sites and Advertising

Links may lead to the Owen County Sheriff's Office, the Owen County Security Center, Indiana MyCase, the Indiana Department of Correction, other government portals, and outside search services. Once you follow a link, that destination's privacy policy applies. Owen County Busted Mugshots does not control the destination's data practices.

Advertising partners may use their own technology to follow activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on their systems, not as a database maintained by this site.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by limited parties that perform a function or satisfy a legal duty:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard safeguards suited to a public website. No service connected to the internet can promise absolute security, so we cannot guarantee that data will never be intercepted, accessed, lost, or misused.


Visitors Younger Than Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal data, use the Contact Us page to request its deletion.


Choices About Personal Data

Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, you may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Delete personal data where the law permits
  • Opt out of certain forms of processing

Changes to This Notice

Privacy practices may change as the site and its services change. A revised notice becomes effective when posted here, with an updated effective date where appropriate.
