Information You Send
Search terms
A name, location, or other text entered into a sponsored search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Forsyth County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy notice and terms control what happens after submission.
Messages and requests
If a visitor emails or uses a contact form, the message and reply details may be kept so the request can be answered. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, a valid legal process, or a service needed to deliver the reply.
Technical Data Collected
Normal page delivery can create technical records about the visit. These details help operate the pages, understand use, and find faults:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on each
- Referring website, when one is sent
- Visit date and time stamps
Cookies and similar tools
Cookies may help measure how visitors move through the site or keep a feature working. Browser settings can block or delete cookies. Some features may work differently when cookies are disabled. Advertising and search partners can use their own tools under their own notices.
How Information Is Used
- Keep the site available, readable, and responsive.
- Send search submissions to the partner service selected for that tool.
- Learn which Forsyth County pages are useful and where visitors encounter trouble.
- Diagnose errors, security problems, and performance issues.
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests or recent page activity.
Links Beyond This Site
Pages link to public sources such as the FCSO inmate catalog, the Forsyth County Jail records route, the Forsyth Clerk case-search route, the Georgia DOC search, and outside news or search services. Once a visitor follows an outbound link, the destination's privacy policy governs its data practices. Forsyth County Busted Mugshots does not control the destination's content, security, collection, or uptime.
Some advertising partners may measure activity across more than one site to deliver interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on the partner's systems, not as a promise that the county's official records systems share data with this site.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold by Forsyth County Busted Mugshots. Information may still reach the following categories when needed to provide the service or comply with law:
- Search partners that process text submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure page use and technical performance.
- Advertising networks and their service vendors.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order or other lawful demand.
Security Is a Best Effort
Reasonable technical and organizational steps are used to protect information under the site's control. No internet-connected service is completely secure, and no promise is made that a system will never be breached, misused, or unavailable. Visitors should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive details in a message.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent personal data, a parent or guardian may contact the operator through Contact Us and ask that the message be reviewed and deleted when appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the data and the law that applies, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held about the visitor.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Request deletion of information that can lawfully be removed.
- Opt out of certain processing, cookies, or interest-based advertising.
Requests should identify the information at issue without including extra sensitive data. Some records may need to be kept for legal, security, accounting, or dispute purposes.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may change as the service, vendors, law, or county-source links change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here, with an updated effective date when appropriate. Visitors should review the notice before using a search tool or sending a message.
