Information You Provide
Search Entries
A name, location, or similar query entered into a site search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. Rock County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those query terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we retain it to respond. We do not share a message outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
When a page loads, standard web operations may collect technical information used to operate, secure, and understand the site, including:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring page or site, when provided
- Visit timestamps
Cookies
Cookies help us understand use of the site. You can block or delete cookies through browser settings, although some features may then work differently.
How We Use Information
- Operate and improve site speed and reliability
- Send a search request to the appropriate partner service
- Learn which guides and official-source links are useful
- Identify, diagnose, and correct technical problems
- Support advertising that may be tailored to interests
External Services and Links
Our guides link to outside systems such as the Rock County records-request page, the Sheriff-linked VINE page, Wisconsin Circuit Court Access, and the WI DOC locator. Once you leave this site, that provider's own privacy terms control its handling of information.
Advertising partners may track activity across websites to deliver interest-based advertising. That tracking happens through their systems, not as a record held by this site.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may be received by the following categories of recipients when needed for the stated purposes:
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Practices
We use reasonable, standard safeguards for the information we handle. No internet-connected system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be exposed or accessed without authorization.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, use Get in Touch to request deletion.
Your Information Choices
