Information Supplied by Visitors
Search requests
A name, location, or other term entered into an available search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Polk County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and correspondence
If a visitor sends an email or contact-form message, the information supplied may be retained to answer the message. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Site Data Is Used
Information collected through normal operation may be used for the following practical purposes:
- Operate and improve the site's speed and reliability
- Send a search request to the selected partner service
- Understand which pages visitors find useful
- Identify and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests
Links and Advertising Partners
The site links to NWRCC roster materials, Polk County and state offices, court portals, corrections resources, and outside search tools. Once a visitor follows one of those links, that destination's privacy practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and to deliver interest-based advertising. That activity is governed by the partner's policies, not this Privacy Notice.

Polk County Busted Mugshots does not sell personal information. Information may nonetheless be processed or disclosed in these limited settings:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics services that help measure site use
- Advertising networks that provide or measure ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can promise absolute security, however, and no system is guaranteed to be free from unauthorized access or a security incident.
Visitors Under 18
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 personal information may request its deletion.
