Information You Provide
Search requests
A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider operating that tool. Haywood County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
When you send an email or contact submission, we retain the information needed to respond. It is not shared outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, the site may receive routine technical information when a browser loads a page. This information can include:

- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring website, when available
- Date and time of the visit
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block cookies through browser settings, although some features can work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- Operate and improve the site’s speed and reliability
- Send a search request to the appropriate partner service
- Understand which reference pages visitors find useful
- Identify and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests
Outside Websites
The site links to public-information resources such as the Haywood County Sheriff’s Office, the county’s Public Records Policy, and the Haywood Court Clerk. It can also link to corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls its handling of information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to observe activity across websites for interest-based advertising. That processing occurs under the partner’s policies, not under this notice.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may be disclosed to the following recipients when needed for the stated purpose or when the law requires it:
- Search partners that process submitted search requests
- Analytics providers that help measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver advertising
- Law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order
Security Measures
We use reasonable, standard safeguards for information under our control. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that any transmission or stored information will be free from every security risk.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask that personal information be deleted where applicable
- Opt out of certain processing where that option is available
Submit a request through Contacts. Tennessee’s public-record access rules, including T.C.A. §§ 10-7-503 through 10-7-506, govern requests to public custodians rather than requests made to this private site.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as site practices change. Any revised version will appear here with an updated effective date.
