Information You Send
Search Terms and Locations
If a visitor enters a name, place, or other query into a search box powered by a third-party provider, the query passes to that provider. Fayette County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy notice controls its handling after the request leaves these pages.
Messages to the Operator
An email or contact message may include the sender's name, address, reply details, and the contents of the request. The operator keeps that material as needed to read and answer the message. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required or needed to handle the request.
Technical Details from a Visit
Routine server, hosting, analytics, and security systems may record limited technical details when a page loads, even when no message is sent.
- IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- Visit and request timestamps
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies or similar files may help measure how visitors use the pages and help services remember a session. A browser can block or delete them. Some features, including partner search behavior, may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- Keep the pages available, secure, and responsive.
- Send a search request to the partner service selected for that tool.
- Understand which Fayette County records topics are useful to visitors.
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and other technical problems.
- Show advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Links Beyond These Pages
Fayette County Busted Mugshots links to the sheriff and jail, VINE, Judici, city police pages, IDOC, federal locators, legal resources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows one of those links, the destination's privacy policy and data practices apply. Those organizations control their own content, forms, cookies, and records.
Advertising partners may also track activity across different websites to select or measure ads. That tracking occurs on the partner's systems, not as a promise that this reference site can control activity elsewhere.
Possible Recipients
Personal information is not sold by the operator. Depending on the action taken, limited information may be received by or disclosed to these parties:
- Search partners that process queries entered into their tools.
- Analytics services that measure page use and site performance.
- Advertising networks that provide or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order or other lawful demand requires disclosure.
Security Limits
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for the information handled by the operator. No internet-connected system is fully secure, however, and no promise can be made that data will never be exposed, lost, or accessed without permission.
Visitors Under 18
These pages are intended for adults. The operator does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent personal data, a parent or guardian may use Contact Us to request its deletion.
Choices and Data Requests
- Ask what personal information the operator holds about the requester.
- Request correction of information that is inaccurate.

Policy Changes
This policy may be revised when the services, law, or data practices change. A revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means the revised practices apply to later use.
