Search entries
When a visitor types a name or location into a search tool, that entry is sent to the independent provider operating the tool. Pend Oreille County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or message to this site, we retain the information supplied in order to respond. We do not share a message outside our organization unless a legal requirement requires disclosure.
Technical data and cookies
Like most websites, we receive limited technical information when a page is requested. This information can include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring site, when one is available; and
- date and time information.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technology to understand use of the site. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How information is used
Information helps us operate and improve this private reference site. We may use it to:
- keep pages available and functioning;
- send a search request to the selected partner service;
- understand which guidance readers find useful;
- diagnose and correct technical problems; and
- present advertising that may be relevant to a visitor’s interests.
Other websites and advertising
This site links to official jail, court, public-record, and custody resources, as well as independent search tools. Once you follow a link, that destination’s privacy policy and practices apply rather than this policy.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising through their own systems. We do not control those partners’ practices.
Who may receive information
We do not sell personal information. Information may nonetheless be processed or disclosed to the following parties when needed for the purposes described above:
- search partners that receive a submitted search query;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver advertising; and
- law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.
Security measures
We use reasonable, standard safeguards intended to protect information under our control. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed fully secure, and we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent us information, use the Contacts page to request its deletion.
Your information choices
You may use the Contacts page to ask for a copy of personal data we hold, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, or opt out of certain processing. We will consider requests in light of applicable law and any information we need to retain for a lawful reason.
Changes to this policy
We may revise this policy as the site or its practices change. A revised version will appear on this page with an updated effective date. Effective date: September 1, 2026.
