Information you choose to provide
Search entries
When you enter a name or location into a search tool, that entry is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Whitman County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message, we retain the information needed to respond. We do not disclose message content outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Technical information received during a visit
Like most websites, this site and its service providers may receive routine technical information when a page loads. That information can include the following:
- Your internet-protocol address.
- Your browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- Visit dates and times.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help us understand site use and maintain features. You can block cookies through browser settings, though parts of the site may then work differently.
How site information is used
We use the information described above to operate, measure, and improve the site and related services.
- Maintain the site’s availability and performance.
- Send a search entry to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- Understand which pages readers find useful.
- Detect, investigate, and address technical problems.
- Support advertising that may be based on interests.
Outside websites and services
The site links to jail rosters, booking information, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the receiving service’s privacy practices control the data you provide there. For example, the Whitman County Jail roster and Washington court resources are operated by government entities, not by this site.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites on their own systems to deliver interest-based advertising. We do not control that collection or the partner’s privacy choices.
Parties that may receive information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared only with the limited categories of recipients needed to provide or lawfully administer the site.
- Search partners that process a search entry.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve advertisements.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security practices
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, and we cannot promise that a transmission or stored record will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor supplied information to us, use the details on the Contact Us page to request its deletion.
