Privacy Notice for Visitors

This notice describes information collected through La Crosse County Busted Mugshots, why it is used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. By using the site, visitors accept the practices described here.

Information You Provide

Search entries

A name, place, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. La Crosse County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

If a visitor sends an email or other message, we retain the information needed to respond. We do not share a message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Information and Cookies

When a browser visits the site, standard technical details may be collected to operate and assess the service.

  • IP address
  • Browser and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • Referring website, when supplied
  • Visit timestamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser settings can limit or block cookies, although some features may then function differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports the operation and improvement of the site.

  • Maintain site performance and reliability.
  • Send search entries to the selected partner service.
  • Understand which material visitors find useful.
  • Diagnose and correct technical problems.
  • Display advertising that may be tailored by advertising systems.

External Websites and Advertising

The site links to public offices, custody locators, court portals, corrections resources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outbound link, that destination’s privacy policy and data practices apply.

Advertising partners may measure activity across websites for interest-based advertising through their own systems. Their activity is governed by their policies, not this notice.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal data. Information may be available to the following parties when needed for the stated purpose or when legally required.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that serve advertisements.
  • Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.

Security Practices

We use reasonable practices intended to protect information, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive information unless it is necessary for a particular request.


Visitors Under 18

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, a parent or guardian may request its deletion through the contact route listed on this site.


Choices About Your Information

Subject to applicable law and the information we hold, a visitor may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal information held by us.
  • Correct information that is inaccurate.
  • Request deletion of personal information.
  • Opt out of certain processing where that option applies.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as site practices change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted with an updated effective date.
