Information You Provide
Search requests
A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the partner that operates that tool. Taos County Busted Mugshots does not store or maintain a log of those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
When you send an email or use a contact channel, we keep the message and the details supplied with it so we can reply. We do not disclose those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most online services, the site and its service providers may collect limited technical information during a visit. This can include:
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring website, when available
- Date and time of access
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site. Your browser settings may block or remove cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How We Use Information
Information is used to operate and improve the service. In practical terms, it may help us:
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send a search request to the appropriate partner
- Understand which pages visitors find useful
- Identify and address technical problems
- Display advertising that may be relevant to interests
Outside Links and Advertising
The site links to official Taos County resources, detention and court pages, public-record portals, corrections resources, and external search tools. Once you follow a link, that destination’s privacy practices apply. Review its policy before providing information there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. Those practices occur under the advertising partner’s policies, not under control of Taos County Busted Mugshots.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be made available to the following parties when needed for the purposes described above:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that help measure site use
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards designed for an online reference service. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us personal information, use Get in Touch so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Your Information Choices
You may contact us to request the following concerning personal information held directly by this site:
- A copy of information we hold
- Correction of inaccurate information
- Deletion of information, where applicable
- An opt-out from certain processing
Notice Updates
We may revise this notice as services or practices change. The current version will be posted here with an updated effective date. Effective date: August 27, 2026.
