Privacy Notice

This notice describes what data may be collected when someone uses this site, why it is used, and when another party may receive it. It also covers cookies, outside links, security limits, and user choices. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Gilchrist County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

An email or contact message may be kept long enough to review the request and send a reply. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Ordinary web services may record technical details when a page loads, including:

  • The internet protocol address used for the visit
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring page or site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies and Similar Tools

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support some functions. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, though a blocked cookie may cause a feature to work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected data supports a limited set of operational purposes:

  • Keeping the site available and responsive
  • Sending search requests to the selected partner
  • Learning which records pages help visitors
  • Finding faults, abuse, and technical problems
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect broad interests

Links Beyond This Site

Links lead to such resources as the GCSO roster, booking feed, Gilchrist Clerk, Florida Department of Corrections, federal locators, news outlets, and independent search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's own privacy terms control its collection and use.

Advertising partners may use their systems to measure activity across more than one website or tailor advertising. That tracking occurs under the partner's policy, not on a database maintained by this site.


Parties That May Receive Data

Personal data is not sold. It may, however, be processed or disclosed to:

  • Search providers that handle a submitted query
  • Analytics services that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that serve ads
  • Law enforcement or another public body acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard administrative and technical practices are used to protect information under this site's control. No internet service, storage method, or network can be guaranteed secure or immune from every breach.


Adults Only

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


Privacy Choices and Requests

Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity checks, a person may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal data held by this site
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Delete personal data where deletion is required or allowed
  • Opt out of certain processing where that choice applies

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A revision takes effect when the updated text and its new effective date are posted here.
