Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information handled when someone visits Marion County Busted Mugshots, submits a search, or sends a message. It explains what arrives directly, what technical data is gathered automatically, how those details support the site, and when a service provider or lawful authority may receive them. It also covers cookies, outside links, security limits, minors, and individual privacy choices. By using the site, a visitor accepts the practices stated here. Kansas public-record access under the Kansas Open Records Act is separate from this private site's handling of visitor data.

Information You Choose to Send

Terms Entered in Search

A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Marion County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its receipt and processing of the query.

Messages Sent to Us

If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and the contact details supplied so we can review and answer it. We do not disclose the message outside our organization unless doing so is required by law or a valid legal demand.

Technical Details Collected Automatically

Like most web services, the site receives routine technical and usage details when a page loads. These records help operate the service, measure traffic, diagnose faults, and reduce misuse. They can include:

  • The internet protocol address associated with the request
  • Browser name, browser version, and basic settings
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and the time spent on them
  • The referring site or link, when one is supplied
  • The date and time of each request

Browser Cookies

Cookies and similar browser storage can help show how visitors move through the site and whether features work as expected. A browser can reject or delete cookies through its settings. Blocking them may cause certain functions, preferences, analytics, or advertising features to operate differently.

Reasons We Use Information

Collected information is used only for ordinary site and service functions. In particular, it may help us:

  • Keep pages available, responsive, and reliable
  • Send a search request to the partner service that handles it
  • Understand which Marion County record pages visitors find useful
  • Detect, investigate, and repair technical problems
  • Display advertising that may be selected according to visitor interests

Privacy Beyond This Website

Links may lead to the Marion County jail roster, Sheriff's Office, Kansas courts, Kansas Department of Corrections, federal or immigration locators, news sources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outbound link, the destination controls its own collection and use of information. Its privacy policy, not this notice, applies there.

Advertising partners may use their own cookies, pixels, or similar tools to measure activity across websites and select targeted advertising. That processing occurs through the partner's systems and is governed by the partner's disclosures and controls.

Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may still pass to organizations that perform the functions described in this notice:

  • Search partners that receive and process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure visits and site performance
  • Advertising networks that deliver and assess advertisements
  • Law enforcement agencies or other government bodies responding to a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or other lawful demand

A request for a Marion County government record is not submitted through this private site. The Kansas Open Records Act, K.S.A. 45-215 through 45-223, governs qualifying requests made to Kansas public agencies and does not turn a message sent here into an official county filing.

Steps Used to Protect Data

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information in our control. Even careful security cannot make an internet-connected service immune from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or interruption. We therefore cannot promise that transmission or storage will always be breach-proof.

Visitors Younger Than Eighteen

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal information may contact us and request its deletion. We will review and address a verified request.

Choices About Your Information

Depending on the law and the kind of data involved, a person may ask us to take the following actions concerning personal information held by this site:

  • Provide a copy of the personal data associated with that person
  • Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete
  • Delete qualifying information in our control
  • Stop or opt out of certain forms of processing where a choice is available

These requests apply only to information controlled by this private site. Marion County, the Sheriff's Office, courts, KDOC, search providers, publishers, and other linked services each control their own records and request procedures.

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as site practices, service providers, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date so visitors can review the current terms.
