Information You Choose to Send
Search terms
When you type a name, place, or other term into a search box supplied by a partner, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Harnett County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and contact details
If you email the site or send a contact message, we keep the message and the details you provide so we can read and answer it. We do not share those submissions outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal demand.
Technical Data Collected During a Visit
Like most public websites, this site may receive routine technical information when a page loads. Depending on the server, browser, or analytics setup, that information can include:
- IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on each page
- Referring site, when one is supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies and similar files
Cookies may help us understand how visitors move through the site and which pages are useful. Your browser can block or delete cookies. Some site features may act differently when those files are disabled.
How Harnett County Busted Mugshots Uses Data
Collected information is used for ordinary site operations and support, not to create an official Harnett County record.
- Keep pages working, available, and reasonably fast.
- Send a search request to the partner service selected for that tool.
- See which pages help visitors find official record routes.
- Spot errors, abuse, and technical faults so they can be addressed.
- Support advertising that may be relevant to a visitor’s interests.
Links and Advertising Beyond This Site
Pages may point to the Harnett County Sheriff’s roster, the Harnett County Detention Center, court portals, NCDAC, federal locators, legal resources, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s own privacy notice and terms control its handling of data. Harnett County Busted Mugshots does not control those sites, their security, or their uptime.
Some advertising partners may observe activity across different websites to help select ads. That tracking takes place on the partner’s systems and is governed by the partner’s settings and policy, not by this site’s control.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may still be handled by the service groups below when their role is needed to run the site or answer a lawful request.
- Search partners that process terms entered into their tools.
- Analytics providers that help measure page use and site health.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement or other government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Reasonable Security, Without a Promise of Perfection
We use ordinary safeguards suited to a small public website, but no internet-connected service is fully secure. Harnett County Busted Mugshots cannot promise that every transmission, server, or service provider is breach-proof. Avoid sending sensitive information in a message unless it is needed for the question.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent data, a parent or guardian may contact us and ask that the submission be deleted.

Subject to applicable law and reasonable verification, a visitor may ask what personal data we hold or request a change in how it is handled.
- Ask for a copy of personal data held by this site.
- Point out inaccurate information in a message or account detail.
- Request deletion of data that this site is allowed to erase.
- Ask to opt out of certain processing, such as optional analytics or advertising where a choice is available.

Privacy practices can change as the site, hosting, analytics, or partner tools change. A revised notice will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means the revised notice applies to later visits.
