Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes what Shelby County Busted Mugshots receives, how it is used, and when information may pass to another service. It also explains cookies, security limits, adult-only use, and the choices available to visitors.

Information You Submit

Search Terms Sent to a Partner

A name, place, or other query entered in a search box supplied by a partner is transmitted to the third party that runs that tool. This site does not create its own search log for those entries, and the partner’s privacy terms control its handling of the query.

Messages Sent to Us

An email or contact message may be kept for as long as needed to answer it and preserve the exchange. It is not sold. A message may be handled by a service provider working for the site or disclosed when a valid legal obligation requires it.


Automatic Technical Data

When a page loads, ordinary web, hosting, and analytics systems may record technical details such as:

  • IP address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and approximate time on a page.
  • The referring site, when a browser supplies it.
  • Dates and time stamps.

Cookie Controls

Cookies and similar storage help measure page use and support site functions. A visitor can block or delete them through browser settings, although a disabled cookie may change how a feature works.


How Information Is Used

Information is used for ordinary operation and measurement, including to:

  • Keep the pages available and improve load performance.
  • Pass a submitted query to the selected search partner.
  • Measure which pages receive visits.
  • Find, prevent, and repair technical problems.
  • Show or measure advertising that may reflect browsing interests.

Privacy Beyond This Site

Links may take a visitor to the Shelby County Detention Center, its JailTracker roster, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office led by Sheriff Timothy “Mark” Moore, Kentucky court portals, the Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL search, or outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy notice governs its collection and use.

Advertising partners may also use their own systems to recognize activity across sites and choose or measure ads. That activity is controlled by the partner’s practices and settings, not by this notice alone.


Limited Data Sharing

Personal information is not sold. In limited circumstances, information may be available to parties performing these roles:

  • Search partners receiving and processing a submitted query.
  • Analytics providers measuring site use and performance.
  • Advertising networks serving or measuring advertisements.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

Reasonable safeguards are used for information within the site’s control. These are best-effort measures, not a promise that an internet-connected system is breach-proof or completely secure.


Adults Only

The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may request that eligible information be deleted.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:

  • Ask what personal data the site holds and request a copy.
  • Seek correction of inaccurate personal information.
  • Ask for eligible information to be erased.
  • Opt out of certain processing when the law provides that choice.

Changes to This Notice

This notice may be revised when practices, service providers, or legal duties change. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted with a new effective date.
