Privacy Notice

This notice explains the information Rockland County Busted Mugshots may receive, the purposes for which it is used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. By using the site, you accept these practices. Government-record questions, including requests under New York Public Officers Law Article 6, known as FOIL, remain governed by the responsible public office and its own rules.

Information You Provide

Search terms

If you enter a name, place, or similar term into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the independent provider operating the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.

Messages

If you send an email or submit a message, we retain the information needed to respond. We do not disclose messages outside our organization unless a law or valid legal process requires disclosure.

Technical Information Collected Automatically

When a page is loaded, service providers may collect ordinary technical and usage information such as:

  • Your IP address.
  • Your browser and browser version.
  • Your device category and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when one is provided.
  • Dates and times of requests.

Cookies

Cookies help us understand how visitors use the site and support its operation. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings, although some features may then work differently.

How We Use Information

  • To operate, protect, and improve the site’s performance.
  • To direct a search request to the appropriate partner service.
  • To understand which pages readers find useful.
  • To diagnose and correct technical problems.
  • To display advertising that may be based on general interests.

External Services and Links

This site links to public offices, court tools, detention information, and third-party search services. Once you follow a link, that other site’s privacy notice and practices apply. For example, an official County FOIL request is handled by Rockland County, and a state-custody lookup is handled by NYS DOCCS, not by this site.

Advertising partners may collect activity across websites to deliver interest-based advertising through their own systems. That tracking is governed by those partners’ policies, not this notice.

Parties That May Receive Information

We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to the following parties when needed for the stated purpose:

  • Search partners that process search queries.
  • Analytics providers that help measure use of the site.
  • Advertising networks that provide advertising services.
  • Law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.

Security Practices

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. No online system can be guaranteed completely secure, however, and we cannot promise that a transmission or stored data will never be accessed, altered, or lost.

Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has provided personal information, a parent or guardian may ask us to remove it.

Your Choices About Personal Data

  • You may ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you.
  • You may ask us to correct information that is inaccurate.
  • You may request deletion of information, subject to lawful retention needs.
  • You may opt out of certain processing where that option is available.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice as the site, its services, or applicable requirements change. Any revision will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
