Privacy Notice

This notice explains the information collected when a visitor uses Albany County Busted Mugshots, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the service, a visitor accepts these practices.

Information Provided Directly

Search entries

A name, location, or similar entry typed into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.

Messages

If a visitor sends an email or message, we retain the information needed to respond. It is not shared outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.


Automatic Technical Data

Standard web activity can generate technical information when a page loads.

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring website, if present
  • Access timestamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the service. Browser settings can block cookies, although some features may work differently when they are disabled.


How Information Is Used

Technical and message data may be used to operate and improve the service, route a search to the relevant partner, understand useful pages, repair technical problems, and deliver advertising that may be interest-based.


External Services and Links

Links can lead to government records pages, custody tools, court resources, and third-party search services. Their own privacy notices govern after a visitor leaves this service. Advertising partners may measure activity across websites on their systems for targeted advertising.


Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal data. Information may be processed by search partners handling a query, analytics providers, advertising networks, or a government or law-enforcement body responding to a valid legal order.


Security and Age Limits

Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. Contact us if a minor has submitted personal information so it can be addressed.


Your Choices

A visitor may request access to information we hold, correct inaccurate information, request deletion where applicable, or opt out of certain processing. The service may update this notice as practices change. A revised version takes effect when posted here.
