Information You Provide
Search-tool entries
If you type a name, location, or other query into a search tool on this site, the query is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. Cherokee County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's terms and privacy notice govern its handling of the query.
Messages to the site
Messages or emails sent to us may include the information you choose to provide. We retain them as reasonably needed to read and respond to the request. We do not share a message outside our organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Automatically Collected Technical Data
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may collect technical information when a page loads. That information can include:
- Your IP address.
- Browser type, version, and language settings.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and the time spent on them.
- The referring website or link, when available.
- Visit dates and timestamps.
Cookies and similar tools
Cookies and similar technologies help us understand site use and maintain routine functions. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some site features may respond differently after you do so.
How Technical and Message Data Is Used
- To operate, maintain, and improve the site.
- To pass a submitted search request to the applicable partner tool.
- To understand which Cherokee County information pages readers use.
- To diagnose errors, prevent abuse, and protect site operations.
- To display advertising that may be based on interests or browsing activity.
Linked Websites and Advertising
This guide links to official Cherokee County resources, Texas courts and agencies, correctional locators, and outside search services. Once you leave this website, the destination's own privacy policy applies. We do not control the availability, content, or data practices of those sites.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or similar technologies to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. Those activities occur under the partners' policies and systems, not as a Cherokee County government service.
Limited Sharing
We do not sell personal information. Information may be disclosed to the following recipients when needed for the stated purpose:
- Search partners that process a query you submit to their tool.
- Analytics providers that help us understand site performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertising.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards for information under our control. No internet-connected system can promise absolute security, so we cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, changed, or disclosed without authorization.
