Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, place, or other term in a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Childress County Busted Mugshots does not store or log the search terms on its own systems. The provider’s own notice and terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If a visitor sends an email or another contact message, we keep the information supplied in the message so that we can respond. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical data when a page is requested. This information helps operate the service, diagnose faults, and understand how pages are used.
- Internet Protocol address or similar network identifier.
- Browser name, version, and language settings.
- Device category and operating system information.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring page or site, when one is supplied.
- Visit dates, times, and related log timestamps.
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies may be used to understand site use and support basic functions. A visitor can limit or block cookies through browser controls. Some parts of the site or related provider tools may then work differently.
How We Use Information
The information described above is used for the ordinary operation and maintenance of this private reference site.
- To deliver pages and maintain performance.
- To pass a search request to the provider selected for that tool.
- To understand which information visitors find useful.
- To identify, investigate, and repair technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on interests.
External Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to official sheriff, police, court, corrections, archive, or government pages, as well as third-party search tools. Their privacy policies control after a visitor leaves this site. For example, the Childress County sheriff page, IVSS, TDCJ, and a county clerk portal each operate under their own rules and are not controlled here.
Advertising partners may collect activity across different sites to tailor advertising on their own systems. That collection is subject to those partners’ policies, not this policy.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information can be available to the limited categories of recipients below when necessary to operate the site or when a valid legal requirement applies.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertisements.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise absolute security, however, and this policy does not guarantee that a transmission or stored record will be free from every risk.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor has sent personal information to us, they may request its deletion through the Contacts page.
