Information You Choose to Send
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the outside provider that operates the tool. Blackford County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy governs its handling of the query.
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the message and return details as needed to answer. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, or advertising systems may receive technical details when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring site, when supplied; and
- request dates and timestamps.
Cookies help measure visits and remember certain settings. You may block or delete them through the browser, although some page or partner features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports a limited set of operating needs:
- delivering pages reliably and quickly;
- sending search requests to the selected provider;
- understanding which Blackford County resources visitors use;
- detecting errors, abuse, and performance problems; and
- displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Links and Outside Services
Links may lead to sheriff and jail pages, Indiana MyCase, IDOC, booking or court sources, federal locators, news publishers, and outside search tools. Once you leave, that destination's privacy terms apply. We do not control its collection or retention practices.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or similar tools to measure activity across sites and select ads. That processing occurs on their systems.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be handled by:
- search providers processing a submitted query;
- analytics vendors measuring site use;
- advertising networks serving or measuring ads; and
- law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal demand.
Security Has Practical Limits
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used. No internet-connected service, transmission method, or storage system can be promised as completely secure or breach-proof.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use Contact Us to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask for:
- a copy of personal information we hold about you;
- correction of inaccurate personal information;
- deletion of information that no longer must be kept; or
- an opt-out from certain processing where that right applies.
These rights concern information controlled by this private site. A request about a sheriff, court, publisher, search provider, or ad network must go to that organization.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A replacement becomes effective when posted here with its updated effective date.
