Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Hardin County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy controls its collection and use after the query is sent.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and the contact details you provide so we can respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Information Collected
Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may record technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- The internet protocol address associated with the request
- The browser type and software version
- The device category and operating system
- Pages opened and the time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- The date and time of each request
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support site, analytics, or advertising functions. A browser can reject or delete cookies through its settings. Blocking them may cause some tools or preferences to work differently.
Reasons We Use Information
Information described in this notice may be used for these operating purposes:
- Maintain reliable and responsive site performance
- Send a search request to the selected partner service
- Measure which Hardin County resource pages visitors find useful
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and other technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to the Hardin County Detention Center roster, the Hardin County Sheriff's Office, Kentucky court or corrections pages, federal and ICE locators, news sources, and outside search services. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy governs its collection, storage, and use of information.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across more than one website and select interest-based advertisements. That processing occurs under the provider's controls, not on systems operated by Hardin County Busted Mugshots.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Depending on how the site is used, information may be handled by:
- Search partners that receive and process submitted queries
- Analytics vendors that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that deliver and evaluate ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Our Security Practices
We use standard, reasonable safeguards for information within our control. No website, network, transmission method, or storage platform connected to the internet can be guaranteed completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of our records, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information we hold about them
- Correct inaccurate personal information in our possession
- Delete personal information that we are not required to retain
- Opt out of certain processing where that choice is available
These requests concern information controlled by this private site. Kentucky public records held by HCDC, HCSO, the Kentucky Department of Corrections, courts, or another agency are governed by that custodian and the Kentucky Open Records Act in KRS Chapter 61.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as site practices or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and continued use after posting is subject to the updated notice.
