Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected when someone uses this site, how that information supports site operations, and when an outside service may receive it. By continuing to use Manatee County Busted Mugshots, a visitor accepts the practices described here.

Information You Choose to Send

Search terms

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms apply to its processing.

Messages

If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply address may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the correspondence. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

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

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies and similar browser storage help measure site use and support advertising or analytics features. A visitor may block or delete cookies through browser controls, though parts of the site or an outside search tool may then work differently.


Purposes for Using Data

Collected information is used only for ordinary site and service needs, including these purposes:

  • Operating the site and keeping pages responsive
  • Sending a search request to the selected partner
  • Learning which records pages visitors find useful
  • Diagnosing errors, abuse, and other technical problems
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Privacy on Linked Services

Links may lead to the Manatee County jail inquiry, police and sheriff pages, court portals, Florida Department of Corrections resources, federal locators, news outlets, and outside search services. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination's own privacy notice and terms control.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or select interest-based ads. This site does not operate those outside tracking systems.


Parties That May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold as a customer list. Limited data may be processed by:

  • Search partners that receive submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Reasonable administrative and technical practices are used to protect information under this site's control. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, and this notice does not promise that a breach or unauthorized access can never occur.


Adults Only

This site is intended for people age 18 or older and does not knowingly seek personal data from minors. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.

Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a person may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal information held here
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Delete information that no longer needs to be retained
  • Opt out of processing where an applicable right allows it
