Information You Send
Search terms
A name, place, or other text entered into a search widget is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Moore County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems, but the provider’s privacy policy controls its handling.
Contact messages
Email or contact-form messages are retained so a response can be sent and the conversation can be managed. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
Routine page loads may produce technical records such as the following.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on each.
- Referring page, when available.
- Visit timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the pages or keep a feature working. Browser settings can block them. Some tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
Information may be used to keep the pages available, route a search to the right partner, understand which content is useful, diagnose technical faults, and display advertising that may fit general interests. These purposes do not make the site a government records custodian. Official Moore County detention, police, court, and state-custody records remain with the relevant agency.
Links to Other Services
Pages link to the Moore County Detention Center, Sheriff’s Office, municipal police, NC eCourts, North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, BOP, ICE, and local news. They may also link to third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves for another service, that service’s privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may track activity across sites for targeted advertising on their own systems. That tracking is controlled by the partner, not by the county agencies named in the reference material.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold by this policy’s operator. It may be handled by the following parties when needed for the listed functions.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers measuring page use.
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Limits
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected system is fully secure. The operator cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, or exposed through an event beyond its control.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted personal information, a parent or guardian may use the contact route to ask that it be deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and reasonable verification, a person may ask about data held by the operator.
- Request a copy of personal data retained.
- Ask that an inaccurate detail be corrected.
- Request deletion where the operator has a duty and ability to do so.
- Opt out of certain processing, where that choice is available.
Policy Changes
This policy may be revised when practices or legal needs change. A revised version will appear here with a new effective date. The Moore County Sheriff’s Office, Detention Center, NC Courts, and NCDAC remain separate custodians with their own policies.
Examples of linked public resources include the NC eCourts Portal and the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction search. Those agencies have their own privacy rules once a visitor follows a link.
