Information You Send
Search Terms
A name, place, or other term entered in a search widget is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. New York Busted Mugshots does not keep a separate log of those search terms on its own site.
Messages to the Site
If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the message and reply details as needed to respond and keep a record of the exchange. We do not share that correspondence outside the people handling it unless disclosure is required by law.

- Device category and operating system.
- Pages opened and the time spent on them.
- The site that referred you, when available.
- Date and time stamps for requests.
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies or similar technologies may help measure how visitors use the site and support advertising. Browser settings can block or clear cookies. Some site or search features may work differently when they are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Information described above supports the following ordinary site functions:
- Operate the site and improve its speed and reliability.

Links and Outside Services
This site links to county and state record offices, court portals, archives, county guide sites, and third-party search tools. After you follow a link, the destination’s privacy policy and practices apply to information collected there.
Some advertising partners may use their own technologies to recognize activity across websites and select ads. That tracking takes place through their systems and is governed by their privacy terms.

We do not sell personal information. Depending on how you use the site, information may be handled by:
- Search providers that receive terms entered into their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks serving site ads.
- A government or law-enforcement body when a valid legal demand requires disclosure.
Information Security
We use common safeguards intended to protect information we handle. No website or internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that information will never be accessed, altered, or disclosed without authorization.
