Pitkin Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected when someone uses Pitkin County Busted Mugshots, how that information supports the site, and when service providers or authorities may receive it. It also explains cookies, outside links, security limits, and user choices. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

A name, place, or other query entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy controls its handling after submission.

Messages

An email or contact-form message may be retained long enough to read, answer, and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.


Automatic Technical Data

Web systems and analytics services can record basic technical information when a page loads. That information may include:

  • the network Internet Protocol address;
  • browser type and version;
  • device class and operating system;
  • pages viewed and approximate time spent;
  • the referring page or site, when supplied; and
  • access dates and timestamps.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject or clear them, although blocking cookies may change how some site or partner features work.


Purposes for Collection

Collected information is used only for operating and understanding the service. Common purposes include:

  • maintaining site availability and speed;
  • sending a submitted search to the selected partner;
  • learning which reference pages visitors find useful;
  • diagnosing errors and security problems; and
  • displaying advertising that may reflect general interests.

Outside Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to the Pitkin County jail report, police and Sheriff pages, court or corrections portals, news outlets, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy terms govern its collection and use.

Some advertising partners may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and select ads. Any such tracking occurs on the partner’s systems and under its policy, not under the control of this site.


Limited Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data. Information may be received by:

  • search partners that process a submitted query;
  • analytics providers that measure traffic;
  • advertising networks that deliver ads; and
  • law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Security Has Limits

Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to data under our control. No website, transmission method, or internet-connected storage system can be guaranteed breach-proof, so absolute security is not promised.


Adults Only

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 information may contact us to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, a user may ask to:

  • receive a copy of personal data held here;
  • correct information that is inaccurate;
  • delete information when a legal exception does not require retention; or
  • opt out of eligible types of processing.

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as services or legal requirements change. A revision takes effect when the updated notice and its new effective date are posted here.
