Information You Choose to Send
Search Terms
A name or location entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party company that powers that tool. Cullman County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy governs its processing.
Direct Messages
An email or contact-form message may be retained long enough to review and answer it. The message is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine logs and analytics may receive standard technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- The visitor's Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- Request dates and timestamps.
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how people move through the site and support some advertising or partner functions. A visitor may block or clear cookies through browser settings. Some tools may then work differently or lose saved preferences.
Reasons the Data Is Used
Information is processed only for ordinary site and service needs, including:
- Operating the pages and maintaining reasonable performance.
- Sending a search request to the selected partner.
- Learning which pages visitors find useful.
- Finding errors, abuse, and technical faults.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Privacy on Linked Services
Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, court or government portals, custody locators, local news, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy notice and terms apply. Those services control their own collection and storage.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across different websites and select ads. That tracking takes place under the provider's practices, not as a Cullman County government function.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. Limited data may still be processed by:
- Search partners that receive submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or internet transmission can be promised as fully secure, so this notice does not make a breach-proof guarantee.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request review and deletion.
Choices About Personal Data
Subject to applicable law and the limits of the data held, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information held about them.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete qualifying personal information.
- Opt out of certain forms of processing.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised when practices, tools, or legal duties change. A new version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
