Information You Submit
Search entries
When a visitor enters a name or location in a search box, the query goes to the third-party provider that runs that tool. Michigan Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own servers.
Messages
Email or contact messages are kept so a reply can be sent. They are not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires it.
Technical Details and Cookies
When a page loads, service providers may collect routine technical details such as:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on each.
- Referring site, when available.
- Visit timestamps.
Cookie choices
Cookies may help measure how people use the site. Browser settings can block them, though some functions may not work as intended after they are disabled.
Why Information Is Used
Information supports day-to-day site operations and helps improve how Michigan's county and state record sources are presented. It may be used to:
- Keep the site available and responsive.
- Send search requests to the selected partner service.
- Measure which information pages visitors use.
- Find and repair technical faults.
- Display advertising that may relate to visitor interests.
Outside Pages and Search Partners
Links can lead to Michigan sheriffs, jail systems, courts, state agencies, federal locators, county resources, and third-party search tools. Their own privacy rules apply after a visitor follows a link. Michigan Busted Mugshots does not control how another operator stores data or how long its service stays available.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to track activity across sites for targeted ads. That activity takes place under those partners' policies, not under the controls of the linked public offices.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold by Michigan Busted Mugshots. Depending on how a visitor uses the site, information may be received by:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver ads.
- Law enforcement or government offices responding to a valid legal order.
Security Limits
Reasonable steps are used to protect information, but no internet system can be promised fully secure. A visitor should not send sensitive personal details through a public web form unless the recipient's official instructions call for them.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from a person under eighteen. A parent or guardian may contact the site if a minor has submitted information and ask that it be deleted.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and what the service can verify, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of information held about them.
- Correct information that is wrong.
- Request deletion of information.
- Opt out of certain processing.
Requests can be sent through the contact route. A request about a county booking or court record must go to the Michigan agency that holds that official record.
Notice Changes
This notice may be revised as services or law change. A new version takes effect when posted here, with its revision date updated.
