Information Sent Directly
Search terms
A name, location, or other value entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Catawba County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms control its handling after the request leaves this site.
Searches may lead to official resources such as the Catawba County Who’s in Jail roster, the Sheriff’s Records Division, or the Catawba County court page. Those government offices have their own systems and privacy rules.
Messages and contact details
If someone emails or sends a contact message, the message and reply address are kept long enough to review and answer it. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, a court order, or another valid legal process.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server and analytics tools may record limited technical details when a page loads. This information helps keep Catawba County Busted Mugshots available and helps diagnose faults. It can include:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring site, when one is supplied.
- Request timestamps.
Cookies and similar tools
Cookies may help measure how visitors use pages or keep a feature working. Browser settings can block or delete cookies. Some parts of the service may work differently when those files are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used only for ordinary site operations and service support. Examples include:
- Keeping pages available and responsive.
- Sending a search request to the selected partner tool.
- Understanding which pages are useful to visitors.
- Finding errors, abuse, and technical problems.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect browsing interests.
Government and Outside Links
Links may lead to the Catawba County Detention Facility’s information page, Sheriff Don Brown’s office and reports route, the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, court portals, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy and data practices apply. Catawba County Busted Mugshots does not control the content, security, or availability of those services.
Advertising partners may also use their own tools to measure activity across different websites for interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs on their systems, subject to their notices and choices, rather than under this policy alone.

- Analytics providers that measure visits and page use.
- Advertising networks supporting displayed ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order or other lawful demand.
Security Is a Best Effort

Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information, a parent or guardian may contact the service and ask that the submission be removed.
