Information You Provide
Partner Search Entries
When a visitor enters a name or location into a search tool, the request goes to the third-party provider operating that tool. Ashland County Busted Mugshots does not store or keep a log of those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
Emails or messages sent through a contact channel may be retained so we can respond. We do not disclose them outside the organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Technical Data From Visits
Like most websites, the site may receive limited technical information each time a page is loaded. That information can include:
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring site, when one is supplied.
- Visit date and time.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and assist with normal site functions. Browser settings can limit or block cookies, although some features may work differently when cookies are unavailable.
How Information Is Used
The information described above is used for practical operation and improvement of the resource, including the following purposes:
- Operating and improving page performance.
- Sending a search request to the appropriate partner service.
- Understanding which material visitors find useful.
- Detecting and resolving technical problems.
- Serving advertising that may reflect general interests.
External Sites and Services
The site links to official jail rosters, records-request pages, sheriff and corrections resources, court portals, and third-party search services. Ohio's public-records framework is set out in ORC ยง149.43, but each linked office or provider has its own privacy practices. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that organization's policy controls.
Some advertising partners may collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising through their own systems. That activity is governed by the partner's policies, not this Privacy Notice.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to the following parties when necessary for the service or when the law requires it:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers used to understand site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve ads.
- Law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable standard safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet-connected service can promise complete security. We cannot guarantee that transmissions or stored information will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This resource is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has provided information, contact us through Contact Us so that information can be reviewed for deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information we hold, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held by us.
- Correct inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of applicable information.
- Opt out of certain processing where that option applies.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as the site or its services change. Any revised notice will appear here with an updated effective date.
