Search Terms
A name or location entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. Hopkins County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages
If you email or send a contact message, the information is retained as needed to read and answer it. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to address misuse or security.
Automatically Collected Details
Normal web operations may record limited technical information when a page loads. This can include:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on them.
- The referring page or site, when available.
- Date and time information.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help show how visitors use the site and support basic functions. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected data helps operate and secure the site, route a search to the selected partner, understand which pages are useful, diagnose technical faults, improve speed, and display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests. It is not used to create an official Hopkins County arrest or custody record.
Links and Advertising
Pages link to Hopkins County offices, jail and court resources, Kentucky corrections services, federal locators, news outlets, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's own privacy policy applies. This site does not control how an outside service collects, stores, or shares data.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to follow activity across sites and select ads. That processing takes place on their systems under their policies, not as a Hopkins County government function.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be provided to:
- Search partners that must process a submitted query.
- Analytics vendors supporting traffic measurement.
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service, email system, or storage method can be guaranteed secure or breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive details that are not needed for the question.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The 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 deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify the request, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held by the site, request correction, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Rights can vary by location, and data that must be retained for legal or security reasons may not be deleted at once.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as services, vendors, or legal requirements change. A new version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective information. Continued use after posting is governed by the revised notice.
