Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information the site receives, how that information is used, and the limited situations in which it may be shared. By continuing to use the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool passes directly to the independent provider that operates the tool. San Juan County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the exchange. It is not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data and Cookies

Like most websites, the site may receive basic technical and usage details when a page loads. Those details can include:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device type and operating system;
  • pages visited and time spent on them;
  • the referring website, when supplied; and
  • date and time records.

Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can block or remove cookies, although some site features may then work differently.


How Data Is Used

Collected information supports routine site operations and does not turn this private reference into a government records system. It may be used to:

  • keep pages available and responsive;
  • send a search request to the selected partner service;
  • understand which resources readers use;
  • diagnose errors and technical faults; and
  • display advertising that may reflect likely interests.

Other Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to the San Juan County Sheriff, La Plata County custody tools, Colorado courts, corrections locators, or independent search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy rules control its collection and use of data.

Advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs on the provider's systems, not as a San Juan County government function.


When Data May Be Shared

The site does not sell personal information. Limited data may still be handled by:

  • search partners that process submitted queries;
  • analytics providers that measure site use;
  • advertising networks serving or measuring ads; and
  • law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Security Practices

Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under the site's control. No internet-connected service can promise absolute security, and this notice does not claim that transmission or storage is breach-proof.


Adults Only

The site is intended for people age 18 and older. It does not knowingly collect personal information from minors. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a user may ask for a copy of personal data held by the site, request correction of inaccurate data, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Browser controls also permit cookie blocking. These rights concern data held by this private site, not records maintained by the San Juan County Sheriff, La Plata County, Colorado courts, or other linked offices.


Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised when practices or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with its updated effective date.
