Information You Send
Search terms
A name, location, or other term entered into a search widget is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. Scotland County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you email or submit a contact message, the contents and contact details may be kept so a reply can be provided. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
Routine page requests may produce technical information such as:
- IP address;
- browser type and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- referring page, when supplied; and
- request timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site or support features. Browser controls can block or delete cookies. Some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- to keep the site available and responsive;
- to route a search request to the appropriate partner;
- to understand which pages are useful;
- to diagnose errors and technical problems; and
- to display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor.
Links Beyond This Site
Pages link to jail rosters, booking feeds, sheriff and corrections offices, government portals, courts, federal locators, newspapers, and third-party research tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy policy and data practices control. Advertising partners may also track activity across websites on their systems for interest-based advertising.
The county booking guide and official contacts page explain where Scotland County records live, but those government systems are independent services.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold by this site. It may be handled by:
- search partners that process a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure visits;
- advertising networks;
- service providers needed to operate the website; and
- law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Limits
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected system is completely secure. This site cannot promise that information will never be accessed improperly or that a transmission is breach-proof.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, a parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Requests
- ask what personal information is held;
