Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected when you use Alachua County Busted Mugshots, how that information supports the service, and when another party may receive it. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Search Entries

A name or location entered into a search box passes to the independent provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy applies to the query it receives.

Messages Sent to Us

If you send an email or use a contact form, we keep the message and reply details as needed to respond. We do not share the message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Data

Normal server, security, and measurement tools can record technical details when a page loads. Those details may include:

  • Your internet protocol address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when one is supplied.
  • Date and time information for the visit.

Cookie Use

Cookies help measure how people move through the site and support certain functions. You may block cookies in your browser, though some tools or page features may then work differently.


How Information Supports the Site

Collected information is used for a limited set of operational purposes.

  • Keep pages available and responsive.
  • Send a submitted search to the correct partner.
  • Measure which pages answer visitor needs.
  • Detect errors, abuse, and technical faults.
  • Display advertising that may reflect general interests.

Services Beyond This Site

Links may lead to Alachua County jail tools, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, news sites, or independent search services. Once you leave, the destination’s privacy terms control its collection and use of data.

Advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs on their systems under their policies.


Limited Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Data may be available only to parties that help operate or lawfully oversee the service:

  • Search partners that receive submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used to limit unauthorized access and misuse. No website, network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed breach-proof, so absolute security is not promised.


Adults Only

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor submitted information so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the data actually held, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data maintained about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
  • Ask that eligible data be erased.
  • Opt out of certain processing where that right applies.

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as services or legal duties change. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here with its updated effective date.
