Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name or place entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Orange County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those query terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
Email and contact-form messages are retained as needed to answer the sender. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Records
Like most websites, the service may record basic technical details when a page loads:
- The visitor's Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages opened and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- Date and time stamps for requests.
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the pages. A browser can reject or delete them, although blocking cookies may change how some features work.
Reasons Data Is Used
Collected information supports operation and measurement of the service.

Leaving for Another Website
Links lead to OCSD custody tools, booking logs, city police pages, court and corrections portals, and third-party searches. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's own privacy policy controls.
Advertising partners may use their systems to measure activity across different sites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the partner's practices, not this notice.
Limited Data Recipients
Personal information is not sold. It may be handled by:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure page use.
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to reduce risk. No website, network, or storage system can be promised as fully secure or immune from a breach.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the contact page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, a user may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data held about them.
