Kern Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected while you browse Kern County Busted Mugshots, how it is used, when service providers may receive it, and the choices available to you. By continuing to use the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.

Messages

If you send an email or contact message, we retain it as needed to answer. Messages are not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Details

Normal server and analytics records may collect the following details when a page loads:

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • The browser name and version
  • The device class and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring page or site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages. You can block cookies in your browser, although some functions may then work differently.


Purposes for Data Use

Collected data supports site operation and basic service delivery. It may be used to:

  • Maintain performance and availability
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Measure which pages visitors find useful
  • Diagnose errors and other technical faults
  • Present advertising that may reflect broad interests

Outside Websites and Advertising

Links lead to sheriff custody tools, police and court portals, corrections resources, federal locators, news pages, and outside search services. After you leave this site, the destination's own privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

Some advertising companies may measure activity across different sites to select ads. That activity occurs through their systems, not a records system operated here.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to:

  • A search partner processing a query
  • Analytics providers measuring site use
  • Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use ordinary security practices suited to an informational website. No internet service can promise complete security, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.


Use by Minors

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian may contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Depending on applicable law and what information is held, you may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal data held about you
  • Correct personal information that is wrong
  • Delete information where the law permits
  • Opt out of certain forms of processing

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as services or legal requirements change. An update takes effect when the revised notice and its new effective date are posted here.
