Information You Submit
Search Tool Entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search widget is submitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. York County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages to the Site
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, we may keep the message and supplied contact details to respond. We do not share that material outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Details Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical information when a page loads, including:
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- Referring website, when one is provided
- Date and time of the visit
Cookies and Similar Settings
Cookies may be used to understand how the site is used and to support basic operation. A visitor can block or remove cookies through browser controls, though some features may then work differently.
Why We Use Information
- Operate, maintain, and improve the site's speed and reliability
- Send a search request to the provider selected by the visitor
- Understand which York County records-guide pages readers find useful
- Diagnose errors, misuse, and security concerns
- Display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's interests
External Websites and Advertising
The site links to official resources such as the York County Inmate Search, the YCSO Records Management Unit, SCDC, courts, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination site's privacy policy governs its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may track activity across websites to deliver interest-based ads. That activity occurs under their own systems and notices, not under this site's control.
When Information May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to the following categories of recipients when needed for the purposes described here:
- Search partners that process a visitor's search request
- Analytics providers that measure site performance and use
- Advertising networks that provide ads
- Law-enforcement or government agencies responding to a valid legal demand
Security Practices
We use reasonable, standard safeguards designed to protect information. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure or free from every breach, so visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal information through unprotected channels.
