Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Polk County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Emails and Other Messages
If you email us or send a contact form, we retain the message and the contact details needed to answer it. We do not share that message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our systems may receive routine technical and usage details when a page loads. That information can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Your browser type and version.
- Your device class and operating system.
- The pages you view and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site and use its features. You may block or delete cookies with your browser controls. Some tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
Reasons We Use Data
Collected data supports the operation and improvement of the site. We may use it to:
- Keep pages available and responsive.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Measure which Polk County resources visitors use.
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and performance problems.
- Present advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, its app stores, court portals, Arkansas Department of Corrections services, federal locators, news pages, or third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy notice controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their systems to recognize activity across different websites and tailor ads. That cross-site activity occurs through the partner's technology, not a record system operated by Polk County Busted Mugshots.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be disclosed to limited parties that perform a function or have lawful authority to receive it:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
Our Security Approach
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect the data in our care. No website, network, transmission method, or storage system is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal data, use the Get in Touch page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Correct personal data that is inaccurate.
- Erase personal data in our control.
- Stop certain forms of processing where an opt-out applies.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as the site or its services change. The revised version becomes effective when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
