Information You Provide
Queries Sent to Partner Tools
A name, location, or other term entered into a site search tool is passed to the independent provider that operates that tool. Bergen County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages You Send
If you send an email or other message to the site, we retain the information needed to respond and administer the message. It is not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site can receive limited technical information when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- The referring website, if one is supplied
- Access dates and times
Cookies
Cookies and similar browser tools may help us understand how the site is used. You may block or delete cookies through browser settings, although some features may then work differently.
Why We Use This Information
- To operate, maintain, and improve site performance.
- To send a search query to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which guides and resource links readers find useful.
- To diagnose, prevent, and repair technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor’s interests.
External Websites and Services
This guide links to BCCRC custody resources, sheriff and municipal records paths, court services, corrections agencies, and independent search tools. Once you follow an external link, that destination’s privacy policy and practices apply. For example, public-record requests are governed by the responsible custodian and New Jersey’s Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., not by this policy.
Advertising partners may also collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising through their own services. That activity is controlled by the partner’s systems and terms.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may be disclosed to the following categories when needed for the purposes described here:
- Search partners that process a query submitted through their tools
- Analytics providers that help measure site use
- Advertising networks that provide and measure advertising
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Practices
We use reasonable measures intended to protect information under our control. No internet-connected service can guarantee complete security, however, and this policy does not promise that a transmission or stored data will be breach-proof.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information to us, use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
