Information Provided Directly
Search Requests
When a name, location, or other term is entered into a search tool, the request is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Atlantic County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
An email or contact-form message may be retained so that a reply can be sent and the correspondence can be managed. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Details Collected Automatically
Each visit can generate routine technical information used to operate, secure, measure, and improve the service. This information may include the following details:
- The IP address used to connect to the site

- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is available
- Visit timestamps
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies help show how visitors use the site and support its ordinary functions. Browser settings can block or remove cookies. If cookies are blocked, certain features or preferences may work differently.
How Information Is Used
Information is used for practical operating purposes, including:
- Keeping the site available and responsive
- Sending search requests to the appropriate partner service
- Understanding which pages visitors find useful
- Detecting and correcting technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may relate to visitor interests
External Links and Advertising
The site links to official record and custody resources, including the Atlantic County Sheriff OPRA route, the Gerard L. Gormley Justice Facility, New Jersey Courts, and the NJDOC offender search, as well as third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outbound link, the receiving service's own privacy practices govern the information it collects.
Some advertising partners may track activity across websites to deliver interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs within the partner's systems, not as a record held by Atlantic County Busted Mugshots.
When Data May Be Shared
Personal information is not sold. It may be shared with the following parties when needed for the stated purpose or when a valid legal requirement applies:
- Search partners that process a submitted search request
- Analytics services that help measure site use
- Advertising networks that provide or measure advertisements
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable, best-effort security measures are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure, and no method of transmission or storage can promise protection against every risk.

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, contact the site to request its deletion.
