Bedford Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes information collected when visitors use Bedford County Busted Mugshots, how that information is used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. Continued use of the service means acceptance of the practices described here.

Information provided directly

A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is passed to the independent provider that operates that tool. Search terms are not stored or logged on this site’s side. If a visitor sends a message through an available communication channel, the information in that message may be retained to respond and is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Technical data and cookies

Standard server, security, analytics, and advertising systems can automatically receive technical details when a page loads. This may include:

  • Internet protocol address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed, time on page, and timestamps.
  • The referring site, when one is supplied.

Cookies and similar tools help measure use and remember limited preferences. Browser settings may block cookies, although parts of a service can behave differently when they are blocked.


How information is used

Information helps operate, protect, and improve the service. It may be used to route a search query to the selected partner, understand which pages are useful, troubleshoot technical problems, maintain security, and display advertising that may reflect interests.


Outside sites and advertising

Links can lead to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, and other government resources, as well as independent search tools. Each destination has its own privacy practices after a visitor leaves this site. Advertising providers may collect activity across websites through their own technology, subject to their policies and browser choices.


Who may receive data

Personal information is not sold as a standalone product. It can be processed by the following categories when needed for the stated purposes:

  • Search partners that receive a submitted query.
  • Analytics and hosting providers.
  • Advertising networks and measurement services.
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security and age limits

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected system can promise absolute security. The service 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 request its deletion through an available communication channel.


Data choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, a visitor may ask to learn what personal information is held, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, or object to certain processing. These requests do not control records held by Bedford County, Tennessee, the Sheriff’s Office, a jail, a court, or another independent source.


Policy changes

This notice may be revised as systems, vendors, or legal requirements change. The revised version takes effect when it is posted here.
