Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Bridgeport Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy rules govern its receipt and handling of the query.
Emails and Other Messages
If you email or send a contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not disclose the message outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure, such as through a valid legal order.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard server and analytics systems may record limited technical and usage details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- The visitor’s Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps tied to a visit
Cookie Use
Cookies may help measure traffic and show how people use the site. A browser can block or remove them, though some page or partner-tool functions may work differently afterward.
How Information Supports the Site
Collected data is used only for ordinary site operations and related services. These uses include:
- Operating pages and improving load speed
- Passing a search request to the selected partner
- Learning which records-reference pages visitors use
- Finding errors, abuse, and technical failures
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Linked Websites Set Their Rules
Links may lead to BPD arrest logs, CT DOC resources, Judicial Branch records, federal locators, other government portals, local news, or third-party search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy policy and data practices apply. This site does not control those systems.
Advertising providers may use their own tools to measure visits across websites and select ads. That activity takes place through their systems and is governed by their published policies.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be disclosed to service providers or authorities when needed for the functions described here:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics services that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use customary safeguards intended to protect information under our control. No website, transmission method, or internet-connected storage system is completely secure, however. We cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of what we hold, a visitor may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we maintain
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask that eligible personal information be deleted
- Object to or opt out of certain forms of processing
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as the site, its providers, or applicable rules change. An updated version takes effect when posted here with a revised effective date.
