Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information Ventura County Busted Mugshots receives, how it is used, and when another party may process it. It covers direct messages, partner-powered searches, routine technical logs, cookies, analytics, and advertising. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Partner Search Terms

A name, place, or other term entered in a sponsored search box is sent to the independent provider that operates the tool. Ventura County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's notice governs its handling of the query.

Messages Sent To Us

If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Routine Technical Records

Standard web systems may record limited technical details when a page loads. These logs can include:

  • The internet protocol address used for the visit.
  • The browser name and version.
  • The device class and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when one is supplied.
  • Dates and timestamps tied to requests.

Cookie Controls

Cookies help measure how people use the pages. You can block or remove cookies through browser controls, although some functions may behave differently when cookies are unavailable.


Reasons We Use Data

Collected information is used only for ordinary site and service functions, including:

  • Operating the site and maintaining acceptable speed.
  • Passing a submitted search to the selected partner service.
  • Understanding which pages visitors find useful.
  • Finding errors, abuse, and technical faults.
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests.

Privacy Beyond This Site

Links lead to the Ventura County Sheriff, court portals, CDCR, federal locators, news sources, and third-party search tools. Once you follow a link, the destination's own privacy notice controls its collection and use of data.

Some advertising partners may measure activity across multiple websites to select ads. That processing takes place through their systems and policies, not as a Ventura County government activity or official records process.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by:

  • Search partners that process a query submitted to their tool.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that serve or assess ads.
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.

Security Has Practical Limits

We use standard safeguards suited to the information and services involved. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure, however, and this notice does not promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access can never occur.


Adults Only

The site is intended for people age 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from a minor. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of personal data we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Erase eligible personal data.
  • Stop certain processing where an opt-out right applies.

These rights concern information held by this private site. Requests for Ventura County public records, including requests under the California Public Records Act, Government Code section 7920 and following, must go to the government office that holds them.


Changes To This Notice

We may revise this notice as services or practices change. The updated text and a new effective date will be posted on this page.
