Information Provided Directly
Search terms
A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Taylor County Busted Mugshots does not independently store or log those submitted search terms.

If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. Messages are not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law.

How Information Is Used

- Identify useful or poorly performing pages
- Find and correct technical problems

External Sites and Advertising
The service links to official jail and court portals, sheriff and corrections information, government resources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves the service, the destination’s privacy policy and practices govern the information provided there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based advertising. Their systems, not Taylor County Busted Mugshots, govern that activity.
Possible Data Recipients
Personal information is not sold. It may be shared only with the categories below when needed for the stated purpose or required by a valid legal order.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under valid legal process
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed fully secure, so absolute protection against every loss, breach, or unauthorized access cannot be promised.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion through the contact route.
Privacy Requests
Subject to applicable law and verification, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information held by the service
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Request deletion of personal information
- Opt out of certain processing where that option applies
Texas public-record requests remain governed by the applicable public office and Texas Government Code Chapter 552. A privacy request to this service does not alter an official county, court, or police record.
