Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes what Bannock County Busted Mugshots receives when someone uses its pages, searches through a partner tool, or sends a message. It explains how the information may be used, when it may be shared, and the choices available to a visitor. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Send Directly

Search Queries

A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Bannock County Busted Mugshots does not store or maintain those search terms on its own end. The provider’s privacy policy and terms control what that provider does with the query.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email or contact message may include the sender’s name, address, phone number, email address, and the details needed to answer the request. Messages are kept as needed to respond, maintain a record of the exchange, and meet legal duties. They are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal reason requires disclosure.


Technical Data from a Visit

When a browser loads a page, routine technical information may be recorded by the hosting, analytics, advertising, or security systems that support the service.

  • Internet Protocol address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on each page.
  • The referring page or site, when available.
  • Visit timestamps and related request details.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may help measure page use, remember a setting, support the search widget, or deliver advertising. Browser controls can block or delete cookies. Some functions may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How the Data Is Used

Collected information may be used for the following ordinary service purposes:

  • Keep the Bannock County reference pages working and responsive.
  • Send a query to the partner service selected by the search tool.
  • Understand which pages help visitors find the Sheriff app, AlertSense, detention, court, or records sources.
  • Find errors, security problems, and other technical faults.
  • Show advertising that may relate to a visitor’s general interests.

The site does not control the data use of the Bannock County Sheriff, Pocatello Police, Chubbuck Police, Idaho courts, IDOC, or other linked agencies. Their own notices apply when a visitor leaves this site.


Links to Other Websites

Pages may link to the Bannock County Sheriff’s Office, the Bannock County Detention Center, the county app, AlertSense, Pocatello and Chubbuck records offices, Idaho iCourt, the Idaho Department of Correction, federal locators, VINE, local news, and other resources. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy notice governs its collection and use.

Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity across different websites. That tracking occurs on the partner’s systems and is controlled by the partner’s policies, not by this notice.


Who May Receive Information

Personal information is not sold by Bannock County Busted Mugshots. Depending on the interaction, information may be received by:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query.
  • Analytics services that measure page use.
  • Advertising networks and their service vendors.
  • Hosting, security, email, and technical providers that support the service.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order or other lawful duty requires production.

Security Efforts

Reasonable technical and organizational steps are used to protect information handled by the service. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, and no promise can be made that data will never be accessed, lost, altered, or disclosed through an event outside reasonable control.


Visitors Under 18

The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor sends personal data, a parent or legal guardian may use the Contacts page to request that the information be removed, subject to records that must be kept for legal or security reasons.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity checks, a person may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal information held by the service.
  • Correct information that is inaccurate.
  • Request deletion of information that does not need to be retained.
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing, cookies, or advertising uses.

Send a request through Contacts. A request may not cover search terms held by a third-party provider, public records held by Bannock County, or material that must be kept for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or dispute purposes.


Changes to This Notice

This Privacy Notice may be revised when the service, technology, legal requirements, or data practices change. The new wording becomes effective when posted on this page. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised notice.
