Information You Provide
Search Entries
When a visitor types a name, place, or other search term into a partner-operated search tool, the query is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Ontario County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send a message or email about this website, we may retain the information in it, including a return address, so we can respond and keep a record of the exchange. We do not disclose a message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive limited technical data when a page loads. This can include:
- Your internet protocol address.
- Your browser type and version.
- Your device category and operating system.
- The pages you view and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- Dates and times associated with site activity.
Cookies
Cookies and comparable browser tools help measure how visitors use the site and support its operation. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings, but some site or partner features may work differently after you do so.
How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the website.
- To pass a submitted query to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which pages and explanations visitors find useful.
- To detect, investigate, and correct technical problems or misuse.
- To support advertising that may be tailored to general interests.
Other Websites and Services
This guide links to official custody locators, sheriff and corrections pages, public-record portals, court-related resources, and independent search tools. Those services have their own privacy practices once you leave this website. Requests for official Ontario County records are governed by the relevant office’s procedures and New York’s Freedom of Information Law, including Public Officers Law §89, rather than by this notice.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites to deliver interest-based advertising through their own systems. Their collection and choices are governed by their policies, not this site’s policy.
When Information May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may be made available only to the following categories of recipients as needed for the purposes described here:
- Search partners that process a visitor’s submitted query.
- Analytics providers that help us understand site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertising.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information under our control. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure, however, and this notice does not promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under 18

Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as the website or its services change. Any revision will be posted on this page with an updated effective date, and continued use after posting is subject to the revised notice.
