Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected through this site, how it is used, who may receive it, and the choices available to visitors. By using the site, visitors accept these practices.

Information Submitted Directly

Search entries

A name or location entered into a search tool is passed to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Erie County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

Messages sent by email or a contact method may be retained to respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement applies.


Technical Information

Like most websites, the service may automatically receive technical details during a page visit.

  • Internet protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • Referring page when one is supplied
  • Date and time information

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools help measure site use. Browser settings can limit them, although some functions may behave differently when they are blocked.


How Information Is Used

Collected information may be used to operate and improve the service, route a query to the appropriate partner, understand which pages are useful, diagnose technical issues, and support advertising that may be based on interests.


Outside Services

Links can lead to official Erie County, Pennsylvania, court, corrections, federal, and third-party sites. Their privacy practices apply after a visitor leaves this service. Advertising partners may track activity across sites on their own systems for interest-based advertising.


Who May Receive Data

Personal data is not sold. It may be shared with a search provider handling a submitted query, analytics vendors, advertising networks, or law-enforcement and government bodies that present a valid legal order.


Security Practices

Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet-connected service can promise perfect security. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive details unless they are necessary for a request.


Visitors Under 18

The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may contact us to request deletion of information submitted by a minor.


Your Choices

A visitor may ask to receive a copy of stored personal data, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, or opt out of certain processing where applicable. Contact details are available on the Contacts page.


Policy Revisions

This notice may be revised as practices or services change. The updated notice will be posted here and will take effect when posted.
