Privacy Notice for Chesapeake

This Privacy Notice explains what Chesapeake Busted Mugshots may collect, how it may be used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you accept the practices described here. This notice applies to this private reference site, not to the separate government offices or outside services linked from it.

Information Submitted Directly

Search terms

When a visitor enters a name or location into a search feature, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the feature. Chesapeake Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

If you send an email or submit a contact message, we may keep the information supplied so that we can respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless required by law.


Technical Data and Cookies

Like most websites, we may receive routine technical information when a page is loaded. It helps operate the site, evaluate performance, and address errors.

  • Internet Protocol address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • Referring website, if one was provided.
  • Date and time of access.

Cookie choices

Cookies may be used to understand site use and support site functions. Most browsers allow users to block or remove cookies, although certain features may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How We Use Information

Information collected through the site may be used for ordinary operating purposes.

  • Maintain and improve site performance.
  • Pass a submitted search query to the applicable partner service.
  • Understand which resources readers use.
  • Identify and correct technical problems.
  • Display advertising that may be relevant to site activity.

External Sites and Advertising

Links may lead to official Chesapeake, Virginia, or federal resources and to outside search tools. Their privacy practices govern once you leave this site. Review the notice of any destination before providing it with information.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to observe activity across websites for interest-based advertising. Those activities occur under the partner’s policies, not this site’s policy.


Parties Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to service providers that help run the site or when a lawful request requires disclosure.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that serve advertisements.
  • Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.

Security Practices

We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee that a transmission or stored record will never be accessed, changed, or lost.


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 to us, contact us so that we can consider deleting it.


Requests About Your Data

You may ask to see, correct, delete, or opt out of certain processing of personal information that we hold, subject to applicable law and verification of the request.

  • Request a copy of personal information held by us.
  • Ask that inaccurate information be corrected.
  • Request deletion of information, where applicable.
  • Request to opt out of certain processing.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this Privacy Notice as site practices change. A revised notice becomes effective when posted here and will carry an updated effective date.
