Information You Submit
Search-tool entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the outside provider that operates that tool. Union County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search entries on its own systems.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or a message through a contact method, we retain the information needed to respond. We do not share it outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like many websites, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical information when a browser loads a page. This information helps operate and measure the service.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- Referring page or site, when available
- Request dates and times
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand use of the site and support its operation. A visitor can limit cookies through browser controls, although some features may function differently when cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used for ordinary site operations and improvement, not to create official Union County records.
- Maintain the site and improve load performance
- Send a submitted search to the applicable partner service
- Understand which reference pages visitors find useful
- Diagnose and correct technical problems
- Support advertising that may reflect broad interests
Other Sites and Official Record Links
The site links to resources such as the Union County Sheriff's Office, the Division of Corrections, Union County OPRA, court portals, and outside search tools. Their privacy practices govern after a visitor leaves this site. Official New Jersey records access is governed by its own rules, including the New Jersey Open Public Records Act and the post-arrest disclosure provisions in N.J.S.A. 47:1A-3(b).
Advertising partners may use their own systems to observe activity across websites for interest-based advertising. That activity is governed by the partner's policies and controls, not this Privacy Notice.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to the following recipients when needed for the purposes described here.
- Search partners that receive a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site performance and use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
Security Practices
We use reasonable operational and technical safeguards suited to this site. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, so visitors should not send sensitive information through an unverified channel.
