Information Sent Directly
Search terms
A name or location entered into a search widget is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Lowndes County Busted Mugshots does not store or keep a log of those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and requests
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply details are retained as needed to respond, keep a basic correspondence record, or comply with law. They are not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure or a service provider must handle the message.
Technical Data and Cookies
Routine page delivery may produce technical details such as:
- IP address or a similar network identifier
- Browser name, type, and version
- Device class and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on each page
- Referring page, when a browser supplies one
- Access date and time stamps
Cookie use
Cookies or similar storage may help measure how visitors use the pages and keep features working. Browser controls can block or delete cookies. Some functions may behave differently when they are disabled.
How Information Is Used

Links Beyond This Service
The pages link to Lowndes County jail and court resources, police departments, sheriff and corrections offices, federal locators, news outlets, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy notice and data practices apply. Lowndes County Busted Mugshots does not control an outside site's collection, retention, security, or uptime.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to observe activity across sites for ad measurement or interest-based advertising. That activity occurs on the partner's systems under its own policy.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold by Lowndes County Busted Mugshots. Depending on the interaction, information may be available to:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure page use
- Advertising networks and their service providers
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Is a Best Effort
Reasonable standard safeguards are used for the service and its communications. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, and no promise is made that data will be breach-proof or free from every unauthorized event.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, a parent or guardian may use the service's contact route to request review and deletion of that information.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity checks, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held about the visitor
- Correct information that is wrong
- Request deletion of information that can be removed
- Opt out of certain processing or interest-based advertising
Some data must be kept for legal, security, or recordkeeping reasons. A request may also need to be directed to the search partner or linked agency that received it.
Policy Changes
Privacy practices may change as the service, partners, or law changes. An updated version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
