Information You Submit
When a name, location, or other term is entered into a search box, the query is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not use the site to retain a separate archive of those query terms. A search provider may handle the submitted information under its own privacy notice and terms.
If you send us an email or a message, we may keep the contact details and message needed to respond or manage the request. We do not disclose that correspondence outside our organization unless a legal requirement, valid order, or another lawful need requires disclosure.
Technical Information and Cookies
Standard server and analytics tools can collect limited technical information when a page loads. This helps the site operate, measure performance, and diagnose problems.
- Internet Protocol address and approximate network information.
- Browser type, version, device type, and operating system.
- Pages viewed, referring page, timestamps, and approximate time spent.
- Diagnostic information related to a page request or error.
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to understand site use and remember certain technical settings. Browser controls can block or delete cookies, but features or advertising may behave differently after they are blocked.
How We Use Information
We use information collected through the site for ordinary operational purposes, not to create an official records database.

Outside Websites and Advertising
Jones County Busted Mugshots links to sheriff, court, corrections, and other record-navigation resources, as well as third-party tools. Once you follow an outside link, that party's privacy rules control the information it collects. We do not control the availability, content, or data practices of another website.
Advertising providers may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure ads or show ads that relate to activity across websites. That activity occurs in their systems and remains subject to their own notices and choices.

We do not sell personal information as a business product. Limited data may be shared with service providers that help operate the site or when law requires it.
- Search partners that process a visitor's query.
- Analytics and hosting providers supporting site performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements.
- Government or law-enforcement authorities responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards for the information we handle. No internet-connected service can guarantee complete security, however, and visitors should avoid sending sensitive details that are unnecessary for a question or request.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a visitor under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information can contact us to request review and deletion where appropriate.
Your Choices and Requests
You may ask what personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, ask for deletion where applicable, or object to certain processing. Contact us with enough information to identify the request. We may need to verify identity and may retain limited information when required by law or necessary to resolve a transaction.
