Information You Submit
Partner Search Queries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box operated by an outside provider is sent to that provider so it can run the query. Seminole County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or submit a contact message, the information in it may be retained as needed to answer and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Automatic Technical Information
Routine server, analytics, and advertising technologies may collect limited technical information when a page loads. The data can include:
- The internet protocol address used for the visit
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when supplied
- Date and time information tied to the request
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies may help measure how people move through the site and support analytics or advertising functions. Most browsers allow cookies to be limited or blocked. Some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
Reasons We Use Data
Collected information is used only for operating, understanding, and supporting the service. Typical uses include:
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending partner-tool queries to the selected provider
- Measuring which Seminole County resources readers use
- Diagnosing errors, abuse, or technical failures
- Displaying advertising that may reflect likely interests
Other Websites and Services
Links may lead to the SCSO custody portal, booking reports, the Seminole County Clerk, Florida corrections sources, federal locators, news pages, or third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy notice and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and select ads. That tracking occurs on the partner’s systems, not in a Seminole County Sheriff’s Office or jail database and not under this site’s direct control.
When Data May Be Shared
Personal information is not sold. Limited information may be handled by parties that perform a service or when disclosure is lawfully compelled, including:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Data Security Limits
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information within this site’s control. No website, network, storage service, or internet transmission can be guaranteed fully secure. This notice therefore does not promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access can never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, they may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law and the data involved, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information held by this site
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete personal information when a right to deletion applies
- Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that choice
These requests concern data held by this private site. Florida public records held by SCSO, JEPCF, a police department, or a court remain governed by Florida Constitution article I, section 24, chapter 119, and other applicable laws.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as site practices, services, or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with an updated effective date.
