Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name or location entered into a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Meade County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Email and Other Messages
If you email or submit a message, we keep the information needed to answer it. We do not share the message outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement obligates us to do so.
Technical Details Collected Automatically
Ordinary server and analytics records may capture the following details when a page loads:
- The network IP address used for the request
- Your browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- Date and time stamps for requests
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You can block them through browser controls, although a search, preference, or advertising feature may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
Reasons We Use Information

Privacy Beyond This Site
Links lead to JailTracker, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, public-record resources, and independent search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.
Some advertising companies may use their systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the advertising partner's practices, not as a Meade County government function.
Limited Sharing of Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may nevertheless pass to a limited group when necessary:
- Search partners processing a query you submit
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Advertising networks delivering or measuring ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards appropriate for a public website. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, however, so we cannot guarantee that a system will never be breached.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask that eligible information be erased
- Opt out of certain processing where applicable
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as services or practices change. A new version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
