Privacy Notice

This notice describes information handled when someone visits or uses Miami-Dade County Busted Mugshots. It covers direct submissions, routine technical data, cookies, outside providers, disclosure, security, and user choices. Continued use of the site means acceptance of these practices.

Information You Choose to Send

Search entries

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party company that supplies that tool. This site does not keep or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider's policy applies to the data it receives.

Messages

Information in an email or contact submission is retained as needed to read and answer the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this service may record basic connection and usage details when a page loads. That data helps operate and protect the site.

  • The internet protocol address used for the connection
  • Browser name, browser version, device type, and operating system
  • Pages opened and the approximate time spent on them
  • The referring page or website, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps connected with a visit

Cookies and similar storage

Cookies may be used to measure site use, remember basic preferences, and support advertising. Browser controls can reject or erase cookies, although some functions may then work differently.


Purposes for Using Data

Collected information is used only for normal publishing, service, and security needs.

  • Keeping pages available, stable, and responsive
  • Sending a search request to the selected outside provider
  • Learning which records-reference pages readers use
  • Finding abuse, faults, and other technical problems
  • Supporting advertising that may reflect general interests

Links and Outside Services

Pages link to MDCR custody tools, Miami-Dade police and court sources, Florida records portals, federal locators, news sites, and third-party search providers. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's terms and privacy notice control its collection and use of data.

Advertising and analytics companies may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and choose relevant advertising. Their collection occurs through systems they operate, not through an official Miami-Dade records database maintained here.


When Information May Be Shared

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to parties that perform a stated service or when law requires it.

  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Analytics providers that measure aggregate use
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used where practical. No internet service, transmission method, or storage system can be promised as fully secure, so this notice does not give a breach-proof guarantee.


Adults Only

The service is intended for people who are at least 18. It does not knowingly seek information from a minor. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal information may request review and deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Depending on the law that applies, a person may ask about information directly held by this site and make one of the following requests:

  • Obtain a copy of personal information that is retained
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Delete information when the law permits deletion
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

These choices do not control government records held under Florida's Public Records Act, including Chapter 119, or data kept independently by a linked provider. Requests about those records must go to the proper custodian.


Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as practices, providers, or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
