Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected through Van Wert County Busted Mugshots, the reasons it may be used, and the circumstances in which it can be shared. By using the site, you accept these practices as they are described here.

Information You Provide

A name or location entered into a search tool is transmitted to the independent provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. If you send an email or another contact message, we retain the information needed to respond. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Automatic Technical Data

When a page loads, hosting, analytics, or service providers may receive standard technical details used to operate and protect the site.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • Referring page, when available
  • Access date and time

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls may block cookies, although some features may work differently after they are blocked.


How Information Is Used

Technical and contact information may be used for routine site operations and improvement.

  • Maintain performance and availability
  • Pass a submitted query to the appropriate partner service
  • Learn which pages readers find useful
  • Identify and correct technical problems
  • Deliver advertising that may be relevant to interests

Links and Advertising Partners

Pages may link to sheriff, court, corrections, and other official resources, as well as outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the other organization’s privacy practices control. Some advertising partners may collect activity across sites for interest-based advertising through their own systems.


Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal data. Information can still be handled by service providers or disclosed when a valid legal obligation requires it.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order

Security Limits

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to a reference website. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, and we cannot guarantee that a transmission or stored record will never be accessed improperly.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from a person under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, contact us through the Get in Touch page so the concern can be reviewed.
