Information You Send Directly
Search Terms
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is passed to the third-party provider operating that search tool. Putnam County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy policy controls what happens after the request reaches that service.
Messages and Contact Requests
If a visitor sends an email or contact message about this site, the message and the reply history may be kept so the question can be answered and the exchange can be managed. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is needed to meet a legal obligation.
Technical Details Collected on Visits
Routine page requests can produce technical information about the visit. The categories may include:
- IP address

Cookies and Similar Storage

Official and Outside Links
The site links to the Putnam County Sheriff’s records forms, the Putnam County Clerk of Courts, the Georgia Department of Corrections offender query, Eatonton Police, government portals, and third-party search services. The local records described here concern the Putnam County Jail, operated by the sheriff’s office under Sheriff Howard R. Sills, not this private site. Once a visitor leaves this site, the linked provider’s own privacy policy, security practices, and terms govern the visit. The sheriff’s records form refers to Georgia’s Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. sections 50-18-70 through 50-18-77. That law concerns the agency’s public records and does not change this site’s separate data practices.
Some advertising partners may observe activity across different sites to measure or tailor ads. That tracking takes place on the partner’s systems and is governed by its notices, not by this site’s pages.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may nevertheless reach the following parties when their service is involved or disclosure is legally required:
- search partners that process a submitted query
- analytics providers that measure visits and page use
- advertising networks and their service vendors
- law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Is a Best Effort
Reasonable standard security practices are used for the service, but no system connected to the internet can be promised completely secure. We cannot guarantee that information will never be exposed, intercepted, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent data, a parent or guardian may use the site’s contact route to ask that it be deleted.

Changes to This Policy
This policy may be revised as the site, its tools, or applicable practices change. An updated version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after a revision means the updated policy applies to later visits.
