Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information may be collected when you use Humboldt County Busted Mugshots, why it is used, and when a service provider or public authority may receive it. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices described below. Government websites and outside search services have separate privacy rules.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name, city, or other detail entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Humboldt County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy policy controls its collection and use.

Emails and Other Messages

If you email us or use an available contact form, we retain the message and the contact details needed to respond. We do not disclose that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Routine server, security, and analytics systems may record technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:

  • Your Internet Protocol address.
  • Your browser type and version.
  • Your device category and operating system.
  • The pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The website that referred the visit, when available.
  • The date and time of each request.

Cookies and Similar Storage

Cookies help measure how people navigate the site and support certain functions. Most browsers let you reject or remove them. Blocking cookies may cause some features to work differently or not work at all.


How Information Is Used

Collected data supports the site's operation and helps us understand whether its Humboldt County record routes are useful.

  • Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
  • Send search requests to the selected outside provider.
  • Measure which pages and features visitors use.
  • Diagnose errors, abuse, and other technical problems.
  • Display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.

Privacy on Linked Services

Links may lead to Humboldt County's official jail reports, the Sheriff's Records Unit, the Superior Court portal, CDCR resources, federal locators, news sites, or third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy policy and data practices apply.

Advertising partners may use their systems to recognize activity across different websites and select interest-based ads. That cross-site processing takes place through the partner's technology, not through a booking-record database maintained here.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be provided to parties that perform a necessary function or when the law requires disclosure:

  • Search partners that process a query submitted to their tool.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure 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 against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No website, network, or internet transmission is completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This 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 use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and any valid exception, you may ask us to address personal information maintained by this site.

  • Request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Request deletion of eligible personal data.
  • Opt out of certain processing where that choice is available.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this Privacy Notice as the site, its providers, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
