Information You Choose to Send
Search entries
A name or location entered into a search widget is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Chattooga County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy rules apply to the request once it leaves the page.
Messages and requests
If you email the site or submit a contact message, the message and contact details may be kept so a reply can be sent. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is needed to comply with law, a valid legal order, or a service needed to answer the request.
Technical Data from a Visit
Like most web services, the pages may receive basic technical information when they load. This can help measure performance, understand use, and find faults.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on each.
- Referring page or site, when available.

Cookies and similar tools
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the pages or to support site functions. A browser can block or delete them. Some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports ordinary operation and maintenance. It is used for the following purposes:
- Keep the pages available, responsive, and secure.
- Send search requests to the selected partner tool.
- Learn which topics and pages visitors find useful.
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Links Beyond This Site
The pages link to jail information, booking reports, sheriff and corrections offices, courts, government portals, federal locators, local publishers, and outside search tools. Examples include the Chattooga County Jail page, the Georgia DOC Offender Query, and the Georgia Courts e-access gateway. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy notice and terms control its handling of data. Chattooga County Busted Mugshots does not control that destination's content, security, or availability.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to measure activity across websites or to deliver interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs on the partner's systems, not under this site's direct control.

Personal information is not sold by Chattooga County Busted Mugshots. It may be available to the following categories when needed for the purposes described above:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that report page use and performance.
- Advertising networks and their service providers.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Limits
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information handled by the site. No system connected to the internet is completely secure, however. This policy does not promise that a breach, interception, or other security event is impossible.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor sent information, a parent or guardian may contact the site and request its deletion.

This notice may be revised as the service, partners, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means the revised practices apply from that date forward.
