Information You Submit
Partner Search Terms
A name, place, or other detail entered into a search box powered by an outside provider is transmitted to that provider so it can process the query. San Benito County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the content and return address as needed to review and answer it. We do not disclose that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Visit Data
Standard web and analytics systems may record limited technical information when a page loads. That information can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name and version in use.
- Your device class and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of the request.

Cookies help measure visits and understand how readers use the site. You can block or remove them through browser settings. Some functions may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Information is used only as needed to operate, understand, protect, and support the site and its partner-powered features.

Other Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to the San Benito County Sheriff’s Office, the county public-records portal, Hollister Police reports, Superior Court resources, CDCR, federal custody locators, news sources, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy notice governs its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. That tracking occurs through their systems and policies, not through a San Benito County government system or record portal operated by this site.

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to the following recipients when needed for the stated service or required by law:
- Search partners that receive and process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver and assess ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
Data Security Limits
We use standard, reasonable safeguards for information under our control. No website, transmission method, or connected storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
