Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes information collected through Wahkiakum County Busted Mugshots, how it may be used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. It applies to activity on this private reference site, including its search tools and messages sent to us. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Provide

Search Entries

A name, place, or similar term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Wahkiakum County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s terms and privacy practices apply to the query after it is submitted.

Messages

If you email us or send a message, we may retain the name, contact details, and content you provide to respond or address the request. We do not share messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to protect rights, safety, or site operations.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most websites, the service and its providers may collect technical information when a page loads. This helps measure performance, detect errors, and understand general use of the site.

  • Internet Protocol address and related network information.
  • Browser type, version, and language settings.
  • Device category and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
  • Referring page or site, when available.
  • Dates and times of access.

Cookies

Cookies and similar technologies may help remember settings and show how visitors use the site. Browser controls can block or remove cookies. Some features may work differently when those controls are used.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports routine operation of this site and the search tools it makes available. It may be used to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve page performance.
  • Send a submitted search to the appropriate partner service.
  • Understand which materials readers find useful.
  • Identify and correct technical faults or misuse.
  • Display advertising that may be based on general interests.

Links and Advertising

This site links to official jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court tools, government request portals, and outside search services. Once you follow a link, the receiving organization’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based advertising. Their collection occurs under their own policies, not this Privacy Notice.


Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be available to service providers that help operate the site or when disclosure is required by a valid legal process.

  • Search partners that process a submitted search query.
  • Analytics providers that report aggregated site use.
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure advertisements.
  • Law enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information in our control. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a transmission, stored message, or service will never be affected by unauthorized access.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults and is not designed to collect information from people under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a minor. If a parent or guardian believes a minor sent us information, contact us so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.


Your Privacy Choices

You may ask about personal information we hold by using the Get in Touch page. Subject to applicable law and verification, you may:

  • Request access to personal information held about you.
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion of information where appropriate.
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing where that option applies.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this Privacy Notice as the site or its services change. Any revised notice will be posted here with an updated effective date.
