Information You Provide
Search-tool entries
When you enter a name, place, or other search term in a partner-powered search tool, that entry is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s terms and privacy practices govern its handling of a query.
Messages
If you send an email or another direct message, we may retain the contact details and content needed to respond, maintain the conversation, or address a request. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, our systems and service providers can receive routine technical information when a browser loads a page. This information helps us operate and protect the site.
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring website, when available
- Date and time of access
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site and remember limited browser-level settings. You may block or clear cookies through browser controls, but features that depend on them may work differently after you do.
How We Use Information
We use the information described above for ordinary site operation and improvement, including the following purposes.

External Services and Links
Hartley County Busted Mugshots links to official jail, sheriff, police, court, corrections, and locator resources, as well as some partner search tools. Once you follow a link, the receiving website’s privacy policy and practices apply. We do not control its content, availability, or data handling.
Advertising partners may also collect activity across websites using their own technologies to support interest-based advertising. That activity takes place under those partners’ systems and policies, not as a public-record file maintained by this site.

- Analytics providers that help measure site performance
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards for the information we handle. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed secure, however, and we cannot promise that an unauthorized access, transmission failure, or security incident will never occur.
