Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
When a visitor enters a name, location, or other term in a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that powers the tool. Wilcox County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy policy governs its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If a visitor sends an email or contact-form message, we keep the message and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Basic technical and usage data may be recorded when a page loads. This data supports traffic measurement, security, and site operation and can include:
- The visitor's Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name and version.
- The device class and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of the request.
Browser Cookies
Cookies help show how visitors use the site and may support site features and advertising. A browser can reject or remove cookies. Some functions may work differently when cookies are blocked.
Reasons We Use Data
Collected data is used only for routine site and service functions, including the following:
- Operating the site and maintaining acceptable speed.
- Sending a search request to the selected partner service.
- Learning which pages visitors find useful.
- Finding, diagnosing, and correcting technical problems.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Privacy on Linked Services
The site links to public resources such as the Wilcox County Sheriff's Office contact page, Prince Arnold Detention Center information, the Wilcox County court site, the Alabama Department of Corrections, federal locators, and third-party search tools. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's own privacy terms control its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based advertisements. Any such tracking occurs through the partner's technology, not through an official Wilcox County record system.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be provided only to service categories needed for the site or when the law requires disclosure:
- Search providers that process a visitor's query.
- Analytics services that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver advertisements.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Safeguards and Their Limits
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under our control. No website, network, storage method, or Internet transmission can be guaranteed free from every security failure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal information, they may contact us and request its deletion.
Choices About Personal Data
Depending on the law that applies to a visitor and the type of data involved, a visitor may make the following requests:
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Request deletion of personal information.
- Object to or opt out of certain types of processing.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as the site, service providers, or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
