Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected through Hendricks County Busted Mugshots, how it is used, and when another party may receive it. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Choose to Provide

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its handling of the query.

Messages Sent to Us

If you email us or submit a contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not disclose the message outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement compels disclosure.


Technical Information Collected Automatically

Routine web logs and measurement services may record technical details when a page loads, including:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device category and operating system;
  • pages opened and time spent on them;
  • the referring website, when supplied; and
  • the date and time of the request.

Cookies and Similar Storage

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support site or advertising functions. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies. Blocking them may change how some features behave.


How Information Supports the Site

  • Operating pages reliably and improving speed;
  • sending a search request to the selected partner service;
  • understanding which resources visitors use;
  • finding errors, abuse, and technical failures; and
  • displaying advertising that may reflect inferred interests.

Links and Outside Services

Links may lead to INjail, the Hendricks County Sheriff's Office, Indiana MyCase, IDOC, federal locators, news organizations, and independent search tools. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy and data practices apply.

Advertising providers may measure activity across multiple websites to select or evaluate targeted ads. That processing occurs through their systems and is governed by their policies.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by:

  • search partners that process submitted queries;
  • analytics providers that measure use;
  • advertising networks serving or evaluating ads; and
  • law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Security Is Best Effort

We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to a public website. No internet connection, storage system, or transmission method 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. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted information, contact us and request deletion.


Your Data Choices

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the requester, you may:

  • ask for a copy of personal information we hold;
  • request correction of inaccurate information;
  • ask that eligible information be erased; and
  • object to or opt out of certain processing.

These requests concern data held by this private site. Government records held under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3, must be addressed with the agency that maintains them.


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as services or practices change. The updated text becomes available here with a new effective date.
