Information Sent Directly
Search terms
A name, place, or other entry typed into a search widget is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Pike County Busted Mugshots does not store or keep a log of those search terms on its own server unless a separate provider notice says otherwise.
Messages
An email or contact message may be kept so a reply can be sent and the request can be handled. It is not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is needed to comply with a valid legal demand or to protect the service.

How Information Is Used
Information may be used to:

Outside Websites
The pages link to Pike County jail and Sheriff resources, Weekly Arrests, court portals, Illinois corrections, federal locators, local news, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves these pages, the destination’s own privacy policy and terms apply. Pike County Busted Mugshots does not control those providers, their data handling, their availability, or the information they return.
Some advertising partners may observe activity across different sites for interest-based advertising. That activity takes place on the partner’s systems, under its notices, rather than as a function of the county reference pages.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold by Pike County Busted Mugshots. It may be available to the following parties when needed for the stated purpose:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that report general use and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Limits
Reasonable safeguards are used for information handled by the service. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however. The service cannot promise that data will never be exposed through a breach, attack, transmission fault, or event outside its control.
Visitors Under 18
The pages are intended for adults. Pike County Busted Mugshots does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor sent information, a parent or guardian may use the Contact Us page to request that it be deleted.

This notice may be revised when the service, tools, or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when posted here, with the effective date updated as appropriate. Continued use after a change means the updated practices are accepted.
