Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company operating that tool. Sonoma County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy rules govern what happens after submission.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or use a contact method, we retain the message and reply information as needed to answer. We do not share a message outside the organization unless doing so is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server and analytics records may receive technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- The connecting Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name and version.
- The device class and operating system.
- Pages opened and time spent on them.
- The referring page or site, when supplied.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support advertising or basic functions. Browser controls can reject or delete them. Blocking cookies may cause some parts of the site or partner tools to behave differently.
Purposes for Using Data
Information is used only to operate, maintain, understand, and support the service.
- Keep pages available and responsive.
- Send a submitted query to the selected search partner.
- Measure which pages visitors find useful.
- Detect errors and repair technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Policies on Linked Sites
Links lead to Sonoma County jail and arrest systems, Sheriff and corrections pages, court and government portals, news sources, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across more than one site and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through the partner's technology, not through an official Sonoma County records system.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be processed or disclosed to:
- Search partners that receive a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information under our control. No website, network, or storage system is immune from every risk. We cannot promise breach-proof transmission or storage.
Adults Only
The site is intended for people who are at least eighteen. We do not knowingly collect personal data from a minor. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Data Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of what we hold, a user may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data held about them.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Request deletion of information that may lawfully be erased.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where that right applies.

This privacy notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. An updated version takes effect when it is posted here with a revised effective date.
