Privacy Notice

This notice explains how Garfield County Busted Mugshots handles information when someone browses the site, uses a search tool, follows a resource link, or sends a message. It describes data supplied by visitors, technical details collected during normal site use, cookies, advertising, and the limited circumstances in which information may reach another party. It also sets out security limits, choices available to users, and the treatment of information involving minors. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here.

Information You Choose to Send

Terms Entered in Search Tools

When a visitor types a name, location, or other term into a search tool, that query is sent to the independent provider that operates the tool. Garfield County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider may process the query under its own privacy terms, which should be reviewed before the tool is used.

Emails and Other Messages

Information sent by email or through a contact form is kept as needed to read the request and prepare a response. A message may contain the sender's name, email address, and any facts the sender elects to include. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.


Technical Details Collected During Visits

Like most websites, the service receives routine technical information when a browser requests a page. This information helps pages load, supports basic measurement, and reveals faults that need attention. It may include:

  • The internet protocol address associated with the request
  • The browser name and version in use
  • The device category and operating system
  • Pages opened and the time spent on them
  • The referring website, when one is supplied
  • The date and time of each request

Cookie Controls

Cookies and similar browser storage may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and whether features work as intended. Most browsers allow a user to block or clear cookies. Disabling them is a personal choice, but some search, preference, analytics, or advertising features may then work differently or fail to retain a setting.


Purposes for Using Information

  • Operate the site and maintain reliable page performance
  • Send a search request to the partner service selected by the visitor
  • Measure which Garfield County resource pages visitors find useful
  • Detect errors, misuse, and other technical problems
  • Present advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests

Privacy Beyond This Website

Resource links may lead to the Garfield County Sheriff's Office current-inmate report and Records Division, Garfield Combined Courts, the Colorado Department of Corrections offender search, federal custody locators, local news, or an independent search service. Once a visitor follows an outbound link, the destination's privacy policy and technical practices apply. Garfield County Busted Mugshots does not control how those government offices, publishers, or private providers collect and retain information.

Advertising partners may use cookies or comparable technology on their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That cross-site processing is performed under the partner's controls and privacy disclosures, not in a Garfield County jail, court, GCSO Records, or CDOC system.


Limited Disclosure to Other Parties

Personal information is not sold. Depending on the feature a visitor chooses and the legal duties that apply, information may be handled by:

  • Search partners that receive and process a submitted query
  • Analytics providers that measure visits and site performance
  • Advertising networks that deliver or assess advertisements
  • Law enforcement agencies or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security, Real Limits

Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. Internet transmission and connected storage always carry some risk. No website, email system, or online service can honestly promise perfect security, so Garfield County Busted Mugshots does not guarantee that a breach can never occur.


Visitors Younger Than Eighteen

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, the adult may use the Get in Touch page to identify the material and ask that it be deleted.


Choices About Personal Data

  • Ask for a copy of personal information held about you
  • Request correction of information that is inaccurate
  • Ask for deletion of personal information where applicable
  • Opt out of certain processing when the law provides that choice

Revisions to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as site practices, service providers, or legal requirements change. A new version will be posted at this location, and its effective date will be updated so visitors can identify the current terms.
