Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search
When a name or location is entered into a search box, that query is transmitted to the independent provider operating the tool. Bristol Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's separate privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Emails and Other Messages
If you email or otherwise send us a message, we keep the information needed to understand and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server and analytics records may capture basic technical facts when a page loads. Those facts can include:
- The visitor's Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device class and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps for requests
Browser Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the Bristol pages and support certain site functions. A browser can reject or delete them. Some functions may work differently when cookies are blocked.
How We Use Information
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable speed
- Send a search request to the selected partner service
- Understand which Bristol record pages help visitors
- Detect, diagnose, and repair technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Visits to Outside Services
This site links to the Bristol Police blotter and Records Division, CT DOC inmate tools, Connecticut court portals, federal locators, and independent search services. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's own privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising companies may use technology on their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. Their tracking is subject to their policies, not this notice.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by a small group of service providers or disclosed when the law requires it:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards intended to protect the information in our care. No website, network, or transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us and request its deletion.
Your Information Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask us to erase information when applicable
- Opt out of certain forms of processing when that right applies
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as site practices or legal duties change. An updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
