Information You Provide
Search-provider queries
A name, location, or other term entered into a third-party search tool is sent to the provider that operates that tool. Taylor County Busted Mugshots does not store those search terms locally or create a local search-history record from them. The provider's own privacy terms apply to the information it receives.
Messages and requests
If you send a message through an available contact channel, the message and the information in it may be retained to answer the request, maintain the service, or document a communication. We do not share a message outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Technical Information Collected
Like most web services, the site may receive routine technical information when a page is requested. That information helps diagnose errors, protect the service, and understand whether pages work across common devices.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on each page.
- Referring page or site, if one was provided.
- Date and time of the request.
Cookies and similar tools
Cookies may be used to understand use of the service, preserve preferences, measure page performance, and support advertising. A browser can block or clear cookies, although some functions may behave differently when cookies are unavailable.
How Information Is Used
Information is used for practical operation of the reference service and to improve its reliability. It is not used to create or host official Taylor County booking records.
- Operate and maintain the site.
- Route a submitted query to the appropriate partner tool.
- Understand which materials visitors find useful.
- Find, investigate, and correct technical problems.
- Deliver or measure advertising that may relate to interests.
Other Sites and Services
The service may link to official Taylor County, WVDCR, court, or third-party search resources. Once a visitor follows an external link, that destination's privacy policy, terms, and collection practices control. A link does not make an outside service part of Taylor County Busted Mugshots.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to observe activity across websites for interest-based advertising. Those activities occur on the partners' systems, not as a local copy of official records maintained by this service.
Limited Data Sharing
We do not sell personal information as a routine product. Information may be made available to the limited categories below when needed for the service or when a valid legal requirement applies.
- Search partners that process a query submitted through their tool.
- Analytics providers that measure site use and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertising.
- Law enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid order or other applicable legal process.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information in our control. No internet-connected service can promise absolute security, so we cannot guarantee that a transmission, account, or stored communication will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal information through an available contact channel, they may request review and deletion through that channel.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification of the request, a person may ask about personal information held by this service.
- Request access to personal information we hold.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Request deletion where retention is not required.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where applicable.
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this policy as the service, applicable law, or providers change. A revised policy will be posted at this address with an updated effective date, and continued use after posting is subject to the revised version.
