Information You Provide
Search Requests
If you enter a name or location in a search tool, that query is sent to the independent provider that operates the tool. Douglas County Busted Mugshots does not store or log the search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy policy controls its handling of the request once it receives it.
Messages
If you email us or send a message through a contact method we provide, we keep the information needed to respond and administer the message. We do not disclose a message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to protect legal rights or safety.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, our hosting and service providers may receive technical details when a browser loads a page. This information helps maintain service, measure use, and diagnose faults.
- IP address and approximate network location.
- Browser type, version, device type, and operating system.
- Pages visited, time spent on pages, referring site, and timestamps.
- Technical logs associated with delivery, errors, and security events.
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies and similar identifiers can help us understand how visitors use the site and can support advertising or analytics services. You may limit cookies through browser settings. Blocking them may affect how some site features or partner tools behave.
How Information Is Used
We use the information described above to operate and improve the site, respond to messages, direct a search request to the selected partner service, understand which resources are useful, and identify technical or security problems. Advertising partners may use activity on their own systems to help deliver ads based on interests.
Links and Third Parties
Douglas County Busted Mugshots links to official resources such as the DCSO Jail Viewer, Oregon court services, county offices, and the ODOC Public Records Center, as well as third-party search tools. When you follow an outside link, that operator's privacy notice and practices govern the new visit. We do not control its availability, content, tracking, or data handling.
Advertising networks and other outside providers may collect information across websites through their own technology. Their collection occurs under their policies, not under this policy.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may nevertheless be processed or disclosed to the limited parties needed to operate the service or comply with a valid legal obligation.
- Search partners that receive a query you submit to their tool.
- Analytics, hosting, security, and advertising providers.
- Service providers assisting with a message or site operation.
- Law enforcement or a government body when required by a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, and we cannot promise that communications or data will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided information to us, contact us through Get in Touch so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Data Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information we can reasonably identify, you may ask to know what personal data we hold, request correction of inaccurate data, ask for deletion, or opt out of certain processing. Browser controls may also manage cookies. Send a request through Get in Touch; a request cannot alter a record held by DCSO, a court, ODOC, or another public custodian.
