Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information may be collected when you use this site, why it is used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. By continuing to use the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Dearborn County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

If you send an email or contact submission, we retain the message as needed to respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Technical Data Collected

Routine technical records may be generated as pages load, including:

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

Cookies and Similar Storage

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block them through your browser, although some functions may then behave differently.


Reasons We Use Data

  • Operate the site and maintain performance
  • Send search requests to the selected partner service
  • Understand which guides visitors find useful
  • Diagnose errors and other technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Other Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to the Dearborn County jail roster, government request portals, Indiana corrections pages, official federal locators, or outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on their platforms, not in a database maintained by this site.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may nonetheless be handled by:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order

Security Measures

We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect information. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Use the Contact Us page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Ask that eligible information be erased
  • Opt out of processing where that choice is available

Requests may be made through the Contact Us page, subject to applicable law.


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice as practices change. A revision takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
