Information Shared Directly
Search Entries
A name or place entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Hudson County Busted Mugshots does not store or maintain a separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or another contact message, the message and contact details may be retained to respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless a law or valid legal process requires disclosure.

- Internet protocol address and approximate connection information.
- Browser type, version, device type, and operating system.
- Pages viewed, the time spent on them, and timestamps.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how pages are used and support basic site functions. A browser can block or remove cookies, although some functions or partner tools may then work differently.

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect data, but no internet-connected system can promise absolute security. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive information that is not necessary for a message.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor supplied personal information may request its deletion through the contact route.
Privacy Choices
A visitor may ask about personal information held from a direct contact, request correction of inaccurate contact information, request deletion where applicable, or ask to opt out of certain processing. Requests are considered subject to legitimate operational and legal retention needs.
