Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes what Venango County Busted Mugshots collects, how it is used, and when it may be shared. It applies when you browse this independently operated reference site, submit a message, or use a search feature. By using the site, you accept the practices described here. Pennsylvania public-records access routes, including requests under the Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. § 67.101 et seq., are run by the responsible public offices and do not change this notice.

Information You Provide

Search entries

A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Venango County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

We retain an email or contact-form message only as needed to read it and reply. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data and Cookies

When a page loads, routine technical information may be collected to operate, secure, and understand the site. That information can include:

  • The internet protocol address used to connect
  • Your browser type and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring site, when one is supplied
  • Dates and times of access

Cookie choices

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block or remove cookies through browser settings, though some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information is used for ordinary operation and improvement of the service. It may be used to:

  • Maintain a responsive, functioning site
  • Send a search request to the relevant partner service
  • Understand which reference pages visitors find useful
  • Identify, investigate, and correct technical problems
  • Display advertising that may be based on interests

Links and Advertising Partners

Venango County Busted Mugshots may link to official county, court, sheriff, prison, corrections, or public-records resources, as well as third-party search services. Once you follow an outside link, that organization's privacy practices govern its collection and use of information.

Advertising partners may collect or use activity across websites to tailor ads through their own systems. Their policies, not this notice, describe those practices.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal data. Information may nonetheless be handled by the following recipients when needed for the stated purposes or when the law requires it:

  • Search partners that process search entries
  • Analytics providers that measure site activity
  • Advertising networks that deliver advertisements
  • Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order

Security Practices

We use reasonable, standard measures intended to protect information. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed fully secure, and we cannot promise that a transmission or stored record will never be accessed, altered, or disclosed without authorization.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information, contact us so that we can review and delete it where appropriate.


Your Privacy Requests

You may ask about personal data that we hold and may request any of the following:

  • A copy of the information associated with you
  • Correction of information that is inaccurate
  • Deletion of information, where applicable
  • An opt-out from certain processing

Submit a request through Contact Us. A Right-to-Know request for a record held by Venango County or another public agency must instead be sent to that agency's records officer.


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this Privacy Notice as practices or services change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date.
