Information Provided Directly
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Marlboro County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s treatment of a submitted query is governed by its own privacy terms.
Messages and correspondence
Email or contact messages may include a name, email address, and the information a visitor chooses to provide. Those messages are retained and used to respond or address the request. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to protect rights, safety, or operations.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most web services, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical information when a page is loaded. This information helps operate the service, understand performance, and diagnose problems.
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages
- Referring website or link, when available
- Visit dates and timestamps
Cookie choices
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the service and may support advertising or analytics functions. A browser can be configured to limit or block cookies. Some functions may work differently when cookies are disabled, including settings supplied by outside providers.
Why Information Is Used
Information is used for practical service and measurement purposes. It is not used to make a determination about any person whose public record may be mentioned by an outside source.
- Maintain a stable, responsive service
- Send search requests to the appropriate partner
- Understand which Marlboro County reference material visitors find useful
- Detect, investigate, and correct technical faults or misuse
- Deliver and measure advertising that may reflect visitor interests
External Services and Advertisers
Links may lead to government offices, court portals, corrections resources, outside search tools, and other services. For example, a link to South Carolina’s Freedom of Information Act provides public-records context only. Once a visitor follows an external link, that destination’s privacy notice and data practices control.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to measure activity across different websites and tailor advertising on their systems. Marlboro County Busted Mugshots does not control those partners’ systems or their privacy practices. Visitors should review the policies and available choices offered by each outside service.

- Search partners that process submitted search queries
- Analytics providers that help assess performance and visitor use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements
