Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes how Idaho County Busted Mugshots handles information connected with this private reference service. It covers searches, messages, technical logs, cookies, outside links, and partner tools. Official sheriff, court, corrections, news, and third-party pages have their own privacy practices and notices.

Information This Service Receives

The information collected depends on how a visitor uses the pages.

  • A search query entered into a partner search box can be sent to that third-party provider, along with the fields needed to return its result.
  • A message sent to the operator can include the sender’s name, email address, message text, and any details the sender chooses to provide.
  • Normal server and analytics logs may record an IP address, browser and version, device type, operating system, pages visited, time on each page, referring site, and timestamps.
  • Cookies or similar storage may remember a preference, support a search feature, measure use, or help an advertising or analytics service work.

Do not send sensitive personal information through a contact message or search field. A third-party provider may keep its own copy of a query under its own notice.


How Information Is Used

Information may be used to operate and protect the service, understand which reference pages are useful, answer a message, improve navigation, and identify technical problems. Search requests may be routed to the partner that supplies the search result. Technical data may help measure performance, prevent abuse, and keep the pages available.

  • Maintain page functions and keep the service running.
  • Route a submitted search to the selected partner tool.
  • Review traffic and page performance in aggregate.
  • Find errors, security problems, or abusive activity.
  • Show advertising or content that may be relevant to a visitor.

Cookies and Similar Tools

Cookies may be used for basic preferences, measurement, advertising, security, or partner search functions. Browser settings may allow a visitor to block or delete cookies, but some page features may not work as intended. A partner’s cookie or tracking practice is governed by that partner’s notice, not this one.


Services That May Receive Data

Information may be shared with service providers that help operate the pages or respond to a visitor’s action. Depending on the feature used, recipients can include:

  • Search partners that receive submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure page use.
  • Advertising networks and related delivery services.
  • Hosting, security, email, or technical vendors working for the operator.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies when disclosure is required by a valid legal order or another legal duty.

The service does not control the privacy practices of a linked sheriff, jail, court, corrections, news, or commercial page. Review the receiving service’s current policy before submitting information.


Links to Other Pages

The pages link to the Idaho County Sheriff’s Office, its Current Inmate List, Idaho iCourt, IDOC, BOP, ICE, city agencies, news outlets, archives, and other resources. Visiting one of those destinations moves the visitor under that organization’s terms, cookies, data practices, and security controls. The operator is not responsible for a linked page’s content or data handling.


Security and Retention

Reasonable administrative and technical steps may be used to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system is guaranteed secure. Data can be kept for as long as it is needed for the purpose collected, a legitimate business need, legal compliance, dispute handling, security, or service records. Partner providers may retain search queries under their own schedules.


Children and Age Limits

This service is not directed to children under 18. The operator does not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a child submitted information may use the Get in Touch route to request review.


Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on applicable law and the type of information involved, a visitor may ask to:

  • Request a copy of personal information held by the operator.
  • Correct information that is wrong.
  • Request deletion where a legal exception does not apply.
  • Object to or limit a particular use where the law provides that choice.
  • Withdraw a consent or opt out of certain processing or advertising practices.

Requests should identify the information and the action sought. The operator may need to verify identity and may retain information required by law or needed to resolve a dispute. A partner-held search query must be addressed to that partner.


Changes to This Notice

This Privacy Notice may be revised when the service, law, or data practices change. The updated version takes effect when posted, and the effective date should be checked on a later visit. Questions about this notice may be sent through Get in Touch.
