Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When a visitor enters a name, place, or another search term into a tool on this site, the query is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Los Angeles County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its receipt and use of the query.
Emails and Other Messages
If you send an email or submit a contact message, we retain the message and the contact details needed to respond. That material is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site can receive basic technical and usage details when a page loads. These records help operate the service and diagnose problems. They can include:
- The visitor’s Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when available.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookies
Cookies and similar browser storage may be used to understand site use and support site features. A visitor can block or delete cookies through browser settings, although some parts of the site may then work differently.
How Information Supports the Site
Collected information is used only for ordinary site and business purposes, including:
- Keeping pages available, responsive, and secure.
- Sending search requests to the selected partner service.
- Understanding which pages and features visitors use.
- Finding errors, abuse, and other technical issues.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to Los Angeles County jail and booking tools, sheriff or corrections pages, court portals, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy notice and terms apply. We do not control how those sites collect or use information.
Some advertising partners may use their own cookies or related technology to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on the partners’ systems, not on systems operated by Los Angeles County Busted Mugshots.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Depending on how a visitor uses the site, limited information may be handled by:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard administrative and technical practices intended to protect the information under our control. No website, network, storage system, or Internet transmission can be guaranteed fully secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request its deletion.

California residents may also have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, California Civil Code §1798.100 et seq. A request can be submitted through the Contact Us page. We may need enough information to verify the requester and locate the relevant data.
