Information You Provide
Search-tool entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Calhoun County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages you send
If you send an email or submit a message through a contact mechanism, we retain the information needed to respond and manage the communication. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, the site receives limited technical information when a page is requested. This information helps operate the service, understand aggregate use, and diagnose faults.
- Your internet protocol address.
- Your browser type and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring site, when one is supplied.
- Request dates and times.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings, although some site features may behave differently if cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
We use collected information for ordinary site operations and improvement. It helps deliver pages and identify what needs attention.
- Operate and improve site performance.
- Send search requests to the applicable partner service.
- Understand which material visitors find useful.
- Detect, investigate, and correct technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect inferred interests.
Other Sites and Advertising
The site links to official resources such as the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office, the Calhoun County FOIA page, and the South Carolina Department of Corrections inmate-search notice, as well as independent search tools. Those sites control their own privacy practices once you leave this site. Their policies, rather than this policy, govern information they collect after a link is opened.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to observe activity across websites and provide interest-based advertising. That activity occurs under the partner’s systems and policies.
Parties Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be disclosed to the service providers needed to perform the functions described here, or when law requires disclosure.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site activity.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No online transmission, storage system, or security measure is completely secure, so we cannot promise that information will never be accessed, changed, or disclosed without authorization.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has supplied personal information, a parent or guardian may ask for its deletion through the applicable contact channel.

- Request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Ask that inaccurate personal data be corrected.

We may revise this policy as site practices or legal requirements change. Any revision becomes effective when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
