Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information Otsego County Busted Mugshots may receive, how it may be used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you acknowledge these practices.

Information You Provide

Search Queries

A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool may be transmitted to the independent provider that operates that tool. Otsego County Busted Mugshots does not maintain a separate log of those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

If you send an email or contact message, the message and the details you supply may be retained to respond or maintain a communication record. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Automatic Technical Data

When a browser loads a page, routine technical information may be collected for operation, measurement, and security.

  • Internet protocol address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
  • Referring website, when available.
  • Visit timestamps.

Cookies

Cookies and similar browser tools may help measure how visitors use the site. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some site features may work differently as a result.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the site.
  • Pass a submitted query to the relevant search partner.
  • Understand which information is useful to visitors.
  • Detect and correct technical or security issues.
  • Display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.

Other Websites and Advertising

The site links to official offices, public portals, court resources, and independent search tools. Each outside destination controls its own privacy practices once you leave this site. Review that destination’s policy before submitting information there.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based advertising. That activity occurs under the partner’s practices, not under direct control of Otsego County Busted Mugshots.


Possible Data Recipients

Personal information is not sold. It may be disclosed only as needed to the following categories of recipients.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure advertising.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security Practices

Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure, so the site cannot promise that unauthorized access or a data incident will never occur.


Visitors Under 18

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may ask for its deletion through the Contact Us page.


Your Information Choices

  • Request a copy of personal information held about you.
  • Ask to correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Request deletion of information, subject to applicable obligations.
  • Ask to opt out of certain processing where that option is available.

Policy Changes

This policy may change as the site or its services change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date.
