Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box passes to the outside provider that operates the search tool. That provider handles the query under its own privacy terms. Hancock County Busted Mugshots does not keep a separate log of those search terms on its own systems.
Emails and Contact Messages
An email or contact message may include a sender's name, email address, and any details the sender chooses to provide. We may retain the message long enough to respond, keep a record of the exchange, address misuse, or meet a legal obligation. Correspondence is not shared outside the organization except with a service needed to deliver or answer it, or when disclosure is legally required.
Automatic Technical Details
Like most websites, this one may use server logs and analytics to collect basic technical facts when a page loads. These details help diagnose errors, understand traffic, and protect the service.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies and similar browser technologies can remember settings, measure how visitors move through the site, support advertising, and help an outside search tool function. A browser can delete or reject cookies. Blocking them may limit features or prevent a preference from being remembered.
Reasons We Use Data
Collected information is used only for operating, understanding, and protecting the site and its connected services. Those purposes include:
- Operate and improve site performance
- Send search requests to the selected partner
- Understand which pages help visitors
- Detect and repair technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect interests
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to the Hancock County government, Hancock Sheriff contact information, Breckinridge detention resources, Kentucky Court of Justice, Kentucky Online Offender Lookup, news outlets, and outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination controls its own collection and use of information. Its privacy notice, not this one, applies there.
Search providers, analytics services, and advertising partners may use cookies, device details, or activity across websites under their own policies. Advertising may be selected from interests inferred by those providers. Hancock County Busted Mugshots does not control the privacy practices of an outside government office, publisher, search partner, analytics provider, or advertising network.
Limited Data Sharing
We do not sell a visitor's personal information. Limited information may still be handled by the providers that make the site work or disclosed when law requires it. Recipients may include:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards suited to an informational website. Access is limited where practical, and unnecessary information is not intentionally requested. No internet transmission, email account, outside provider, or storage system is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee that information will never be intercepted, lost, misused, or exposed.
Adults Only
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly request or collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the contact page to identify the message so it can be reviewed and, when appropriate, deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the law that applies and the type of information held, a visitor may have the following choices:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask that eligible data be erased
- Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that right
A request should describe the information and the action sought. We may need enough detail to verify that the requester is entitled to act, and a lawful retention duty or exception may limit what can be changed or deleted. Requests about an official Hancock arrest, court file, Breckinridge booking record, or Kentucky corrections record must go to the government custodian because this site does not hold those records.
Notice Changes
This privacy notice may change as site features, providers, or legal requirements change. A revision becomes effective when the new text and its date are posted on this page. Visitors should review the notice periodically if they continue using the service.
