Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Hampshire County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s practices apply to the query after it is sent.
Messages
When a visitor sends an email or contact message, the details supplied may be kept long enough to read the request and respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or legal process.
Technical Visit Data
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may collect routine technical information when a page is loaded. That information can include:
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring website, when available
- Visit dates and timestamps
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can be set to block or limit cookies, though some features may then work differently.
How Visit Data Is Used
Information collected through the site is used for ordinary site operations and improvement. It may help us:
- Operate and maintain the site
- Send search requests to the appropriate partner service
- Understand which Hampshire County resource pages are useful
- Identify and address technical problems
- Deliver advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests
Links Beyond This Site
Visitors may follow links to the Hampshire County Sheriff’s Office, the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Potomac Highlands Regional Jail and Correctional Facility, court portals, and other record resources. Each outside destination controls its own content and privacy practices after a visitor leaves this site.
Advertising partners may also measure activity across different websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Their policies, not this Privacy Notice, govern that activity.

- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers used to understand site performance
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertisements
- Law enforcement or government entities responding to valid legal process
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, however, and no method of transmission or storage is guaranteed to be breach-proof.

- Receive a copy of personal data that is held
