Information You Submit
Search Requests
A name, location, or other query entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Aiken County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Messages sent through an available contact method may be retained to answer the message or keep a related correspondence record. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
When a page loads, service providers may collect routine technical information to operate, measure, and protect the site. This may include:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.

- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when available.
- Dates and times of access.
Cookies
Cookies and comparable technologies help show how visitors use the site. A browser can be set to block or limit cookies, although some features may then work differently.
Why Data Is Used
Technical and submitted information may be used to operate the site, maintain performance, and respond to visitors. It may also be used to:
- Keep pages available and functioning efficiently.
- Send a search request to the applicable partner service.
- Understand which resources visitors find useful.
- Identify and correct technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be based on interests.
Links and Advertising Partners
The site links to public detention searches, Sheriff's record-request materials, court resources, corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows an outbound link, that destination's privacy policy and data practices control the interaction.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to observe activity across sites for interest-based advertising. Those systems are operated by the relevant advertising partner, not by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. It may be disclosed or made available to the following categories when needed for the purposes described here:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site activity.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertisements.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected system can promise complete security, so this notice does not guarantee that a transmission or stored record will be free from every risk.
Visitors Under 18
