Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Fayette County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to reply and handle the request. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
When a page loads, routine technical information may be collected to operate, protect, and measure the site. This information can include the following:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Visit dates and timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help us understand how the site is used. You may block cookies through your browser settings, although some site functions may then work differently.
How We Use Information
We use collected information for ordinary site operation and improvement. It helps us provide the guide, handle search-tool routing, and understand technical performance.
- Maintain and improve site availability and speed.
- Send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- Understand which guides visitors find useful.
- Identify, investigate, and repair technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
External Websites and Advertising
This guide links to outside sources, including the Fayette County Jail, the county public-records page, the PA DOC locator, government portals, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, that destination's privacy practices apply.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites to deliver interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the partner's systems and policies, not as a substitute for this Privacy Notice.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be received by service providers or authorities when needed for the purposes described here.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve advertisements.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable, standard safeguards for information in our control. No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security, so we cannot promise that a transmission or stored record 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 supplied information, contact us so we can take reasonable steps to remove it.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information we hold, you may contact us to make a request concerning your personal information.
- Request a copy of personal data we hold.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate personal data.
- Ask us to delete personal data when appropriate.
- Opt out of certain processing where that option applies.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as the site or its services change. A revised version will appear on this page with an updated effective date. Pennsylvania public-record requests themselves are governed by the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §67.101 et seq., and this site does not replace that official process.
