Coffee County Privacy Policy

This policy describes information collected through Coffee County Busted Mugshots, how it is used, and when it can be shared. By using the service, you accept these practices. This policy concerns this private reference service, not the separate privacy practices of the Coffee County Sheriff, courts, the Tennessee Department of Correction, or other linked offices.

Information provided directly

Search entries

A name or place entered into a search feature is sent to the third-party provider that operates that feature. We do not store or log those search words on our side.

Messages

Email or a message sent to us may be retained so we can respond. We do not share it outside our organization unless law requires disclosure.


Automatic technical data

When a browser loads a page, service providers may receive routine technical information:

  • IP address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • Referring page, when available.
  • Visit timestamps.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools help measure use and maintain site functions. A browser can block cookies, although some features may then behave differently.


How information is used

We use available data to operate and improve the service, route a search request to its provider, understand useful pages, diagnose technical problems, and support advertising that may be interest-based.


Linked services

Links may lead to sheriff, court, corrections, public-record, federal-locator, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this service, that destination’s own privacy notice controls. Tennessee Public Records Act requests are governed by the public office and T.C.A. § 10-7-503, not by this policy.

Advertising partners may measure activity across websites on their own systems for targeted advertising.


Possible recipients

We do not sell personal information. It may be processed by the following recipients when necessary:

  • Search providers receiving search queries.
  • Analytics services.
  • Advertising networks.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.

Security practices

Reasonable safeguards are used to protect data, but no internet-connected system can promise absolute security. We cannot guarantee a service will be breach-proof.


Visitors under 18

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. Contact us if a minor has sent personal information so that it can be reviewed for deletion.


Your information choices

Subject to applicable law, a person may ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of personal data we hold.
  • Correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Delete applicable personal information.
  • Stop certain processing where an opt-out applies.

Policy changes

We may revise this policy. A revised version will appear here with an updated effective date.
