Information Entered by Visitors
A name or location typed into a search widget is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The outside provider’s privacy policy governs its handling of the query, so review that policy before using the tool.
An email or contact message may be retained so the operator can read it, respond, and keep a basic record of the exchange. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to address a legal or security issue.
Technical Data and Cookies
When a page loads, ordinary server or analytics systems may receive technical details such as:
- IP address and approximate network information
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on each
- Referring website, when one is supplied
- Page-load timestamps
Cookies or similar technologies may help understand how visitors use the site, keep features working, measure performance, or support relevant advertising. Browser settings can block cookies. Some features may work differently when they are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to:
- Keep the site available, secure, and reasonably fast
- Send a search request to the correct outside provider
- Understand which pages and explanations are useful
- Find errors and improve technical performance
- Show advertising that may be relevant to a visitor
Beaufort County Busted Mugshots is not a government records system. It does not hold the Beaufort County Detention Center roster, booking photographs, court files, or NCDAC offender records.
Outside Websites
Pages may link to BCSO, the Beaufort County Detention Center services route, municipal police departments, North Carolina courts, NCDAC, federal locators, local news, and other research tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy and data practices apply. This site does not control those systems.
Advertising partners may also collect information on their own systems and may recognize activity across sites for targeted advertising. That activity is controlled by the partner’s policy and available choices, not by this page’s text.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold by this site as a general practice. Information may nevertheless reach:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics and hosting providers that keep the site running
- Advertising networks and measurement partners
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
Security Limits
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected service is completely secure. The operator cannot promise that a message, transmission, or stored data will be immune from every breach, attack, or system failure.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, a parent or guardian may contact the operator to request deletion of that material.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information held by the operator
- Correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion of information
- Opt out of certain processing or communications
Requests can be sent through the Contact Us page. A request concerning a search partner, government record, news publisher, or outside index must be sent to that organization because this site cannot change another system.
Policy Changes
This policy may be revised as the site, tools, or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here, with an updated effective date when appropriate. The site may also be required to retain or disclose information under North Carolina law or a valid legal process.
