Information You Submit
A name, place, or other term entered in a search tool is sent directly to the third-party provider operating that tool. McPherson County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. Review the provider's privacy terms before submitting a query.
If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details as needed to answer. We do not share a message outside our organization unless responding requires a service provider or disclosure is legally required.
Automatic Technical Information
Like most websites, the site may receive routine technical information when a page loads. That information can include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring website, when supplied; and
- dates and timestamps connected with the visit.
Cookies and similar tools may help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, although blocking them may cause some features or partner services to behave differently.
How Information Is Used
We use available information for limited site and service functions:
- to operate the website and maintain reasonable performance;
- to send submitted searches to the selected partner service;
- to understand which pages visitors find useful;
- to diagnose errors, misuse, and technical problems; and
- to display advertising that may reflect general or inferred interests.
These uses do not turn the site into a government records system. Kansas Open Records Act requests under K.S.A. 45-215 through 45-223 must go to the public agency that keeps the requested record.
Other Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to the McPherson County jail roster, Sheriff's Office, Kansas courts, KDOC, federal or ICE locators, news outlets, government portals, and outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy and technical practices govern the visit.
Some advertising partners may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure activity across websites and provide interest-based advertising. That collection takes place on their systems, not ours, and their opt-out controls apply.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by:
- search partners that process a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver or measure ads; and
- law-enforcement or government authorities when disclosure is required by a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful process.
Each recipient handles information under its own obligations and policies.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard administrative and technical practices intended to protect information under our control. No internet transmission, storage platform, or connected service can be guaranteed completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach, interception, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal data we hold about you;
- correct information that is inaccurate;
- delete information we control; or
- opt out of certain processing where that choice is available.
We cannot delete a government record, court file, jail roster entry, news story, or data held by an outside provider. Requests concerning those sources must go to the organization that controls the record.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as the site, service providers, or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use after posting means the revised practices apply to later visits.
