Information You Provide
Partner Search Requests
When a name or location is entered in a search tool, the request is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. Wayne County Busted Mugshots does not store or log the search terms on its own systems. The provider's own privacy notice and terms control its handling of that submitted information.
Messages Sent to Us
If a visitor sends an email or another contact message, the information supplied in that message may be retained to respond, maintain a correspondence record, or address the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data From Visits
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical information when a page loads. That information helps operate the site, diagnose problems, understand broad traffic patterns, and protect against misuse.
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and the approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- Date and time stamps associated with requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support certain functions. A browser can usually block or remove cookies through its settings. Some features may work differently if those settings are changed.
Why This Data Is Used
Technical and message information is used for practical website operations, not to create an official record. It can help maintain the service, route a request to the selected partner, and identify faults.
- Operate, secure, and improve page performance.
- Send a search request to the relevant partner service.
- Understand which record-resource pages visitors find useful.
- Investigate and correct technical errors or abuse.
- Display advertising that may be tailored to general interests.
Outside Websites and Ads
Links may lead to the Wayne County Citizen Connect roster, the Wayne County Document Center, sheriff and court pages, TDOC, federal locators, and independent search tools. Once a visitor follows one of those links, the privacy practices of that destination apply. For example, the official Citizen Connect system and the TDOC offender lookup are separate services with their own policies.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to observe activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. Any such activity occurs on their systems and is governed by their own notices and opt-out choices.
Parties That May Receive Data

- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
