Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes what Glades County Busted Mugshots receives when someone visits, uses a search tool, or sends a message. It also explains why technical data and cookies may be used, when limited information may reach service providers, and which choices are available to visitors. The practices apply to this privately operated site, not to the Glades County Sheriff’s Office, SmartWEB, the Glades County Clerk, or any linked government system. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the data practices stated here.

Information You Choose to Send

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name, place, or other term entered into an on-page search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Glades County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The search provider may process the query under its separate privacy terms, so visitors should review the provider’s notice before submitting personal details.

Email and Contact Messages

If a visitor sends an email or submits a contact message, the message and reply details may be retained long enough to answer and manage the request. Those communications are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law. A message sent here does not reach GCSO, the Glades County Detention Center, or any Florida records custodian.

Technical Details Collected Automatically

Routine web-server, analytics, and advertising systems may record technical details when a page loads. These records help deliver the site, measure use, diagnose faults, and resist misuse. The information may include:

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

Cookies and Similar Storage

Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support analytics or advertising functions. Most browsers allow cookies to be blocked, limited, or deleted. If they are disabled, some search, preference, measurement, or advertising features may work differently.

Purposes for Using the Data

Information is used only for the site’s operation, search routing, measurement, support, and advertising functions. In practical terms, it may be used to:

  • Keep pages available, stable, and responsive
  • Send a search request to the appropriate partner tool
  • Measure which Glades County record pages visitors find useful
  • Detect errors and correct technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests

Outside Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to GCSO SmartWEB, the Glades County Clerk, Florida Department of Corrections searches, ICE or BOP locators, public-record sources governed by Florida Chapter 119, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows an outside link, the destination’s terms and privacy policy control. Glades County Busted Mugshots does not set or administer the privacy practices of those offices or companies.

Advertising partners may use their own cookies or related technology to measure visits and select ads based on activity across multiple websites. That processing takes place on the partner’s systems rather than on systems controlled by Glades County Busted Mugshots.

Parties That May Receive Data

Glades County Busted Mugshots does not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by the following recipients when needed for the stated functions:

  • Search partners that process terms submitted through their tools
  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and page use
  • Advertising networks that deliver and assess ads
  • Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used to reduce the risk of loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. No website, email service, partner connection, or internet transmission can be guaranteed fully secure. Glades County Busted Mugshots therefore cannot promise that stored or transmitted information will be immune from every breach.

Adults Only

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact the site and request its deletion.

Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and any need to retain information for a lawful purpose, a visitor may ask to exercise the following rights regarding personal data held directly by Glades County Busted Mugshots:

  • Request a copy of the personal information held
  • Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
  • Request deletion of information where permitted
  • Opt out of certain forms of processing where available

These requests apply only to information controlled here. GCSO, SmartWEB, the Clerk, FDC, ICE, BOP, a search provider, or an advertising service must handle requests about data in its own custody.

Changes to This Notice

This Privacy Notice may be revised when practices, services, or legal requirements change. An updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after an update means the revised notice applies to later visits.
