Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Baldwin County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms apply to its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
When a person sends an email or contact message, the submitted address and message are kept as needed to reply. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Ordinary server, analytics, and advertising systems may record technical details when a page loads. This data helps operate and understand the site.

- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps for requests
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies may be used to measure visits and understand how people move through the site. A browser can reject or delete cookies. Blocking them may cause some features or partner services to work differently.
Reasons Data Is Used
Collected information is used only for routine operation, analysis, support, and advertising functions.
- Keep pages available, stable, and responsive
- Send a search request to the selected partner tool
- Learn which Baldwin County resources help visitors
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and other technical faults

Links Beyond This Site
Links may lead to the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office, jail roster, booking feeds, court portals, ADOC, federal locators, news organizations, or outside search tools. The destination’s own privacy policy governs after a visitor leaves this site.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to observe activity across more than one website and select targeted ads. That tracking occurs under those providers’ policies, not as a Baldwin County government function.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone product. It may be shared with the limited parties needed to provide or lawfully operate the service.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics vendors that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Has Practical Limits
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect data within this site’s control. No system connected to the internet is immune from intrusion, loss, or error, so absolute security or a breach-proof service cannot be promised.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the data actually held, a person may ask to exercise these choices.
- Request a copy of personal data held by the site
- Ask that inaccurate personal data be corrected
- Request deletion of personal data where applicable
- Opt out of certain processing where that right applies
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as the site, its partners, or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with an updated effective date.
