Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Pinellas County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's own privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Information
Normal web systems may collect basic technical data each time a page loads. That data helps show whether the site works as intended and how visitors move through it.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device class and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- The referring site, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies may be used to measure site use and remember limited browser information. A visitor can block or remove cookies through browser controls, although some features may then work differently.
How Information Supports the Site
Collected data is used only for ordinary site and service functions.
- Operate the site and maintain acceptable speed
- Send a search request to the selected partner

- Detect errors, abuse, and technical faults

Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to PCSO, Pinellas County Jail resources, the Clerk, Florida corrections and law-enforcement pages, federal locators, news outlets, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy controls its data practices.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to follow activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs on the partner's systems, not on this site's official-record pages.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be processed or disclosed to a limited group when needed for the stated function.
- Search providers that receive a submitted query
- Analytics vendors that measure site activity
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used to reduce the risk of loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. No site connected to the internet can promise perfect protection, and this notice does not make a breach-proof guarantee.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The 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 Contacts page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a person may ask about personal data held by this site.
- Request a copy of the personal data we maintain
- Ask us to correct inaccurate personal information
- Request deletion of eligible personal data
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
These choices concern data held by this private site. Requests for a PCSO, Clerk, FDLE, or Florida Department of Corrections record must go to the government office that owns it.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
