Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. Cherokee County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms apply to its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not disclose that message beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Visit Data
Routine server and analytics records may capture basic technical facts when a page loads, including:
- The visitor's Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name and version.
- The device category and operating system.
- The pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of the request.
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how people move through the site and use its features. A visitor may block or remove cookies through browser controls, though some tools may then work differently or not at all.
Purposes for Using Data
Collected information is used for limited operating and measurement needs:
- Keeping pages available, responsive, and stable.
- Sending a submitted search to the selected partner service.
- Learning which Cherokee County record pages visitors use.
- Finding errors, security concerns, and other technical problems.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to the Cherokee County Sheriff's roster and release view, Alabama corrections pages, court portals, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the receiving site's privacy policy and data practices govern.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through the advertising partner, not through a record file maintained by this site.
Limited Data Recipients
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be processed or disclosed to these parties when necessary:
- Search providers that receive and process a query.
- Analytics services that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks that deliver ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies or other public bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No website, internet connection, or storage system can be guaranteed immune from every breach, interception, or loss.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may contact us to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the law that applies, a visitor may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete personal data where the law permits.
- Stop certain forms of processing.

This privacy notice may be revised as the site or applicable practices change. Any revision will appear on this page with a new effective date.
