Information You Choose to Send
Search terms
Some search boxes come from a third-party provider. Type a name or location into one of those. The entry goes straight to that provider, not to this site. Onslow County Busted Mugshots never stores or logs those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and contact submissions
Messages sent by email or through a contact form are a different matter. They are kept only long enough to read them and send a reply. Nothing leaves this organization with them. The only exception is when the law or a valid legal process forces disclosure.
Technical Details Collected on a Visit
Loading a page hands the site some routine technical details, the same way most websites work. Expect items like these:
- Your IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on each
- The referring site, when one is supplied
- Page-load timestamps
Cookies and similar tools
Cookies help show how visitors move around the site. Every browser can block or delete them. Some features might behave a bit differently once they are blocked.
How the Information Is Used
- To operate, secure, and improve page delivery.
- To send a search request to the partner service that supplies the search tool.
- To learn which Onslow County resource pages are useful.
- To diagnose errors and other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's interests.
Official and Outside Links
Links on these pages point to official sources: the Onslow County Sheriff's Office, the Onslow County Detention Center's Detention Division, the county public-records portal, the court portal, the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction (NC DAC), and federal locators. Leave this site, and the destination's own privacy notice and data practices take over.
Advertising partners run their own tracking across websites for interest-based ads. That activity lives on their systems. Their terms and settings govern it, not this notice.
Possible Recipients
No personal data gets sold here. Still, information can reach certain parties when their service or a legal duty requires it:
- Search partners that process a query entered into their tool
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order or other lawful demand
Security Limits
Standard, reasonable safeguards protect the information this site handles. No internet-connected system is perfectly secure. That means data could still be exposed, lost, or accessed without permission, and no promise is made otherwise.
Visitors Under 18
Adults are the audience for this site. No information is knowingly collected from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who finds a minor has sent personal data can request deletion through the Contact Us page.

- Ask what personal data this site holds about you and request a copy.
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected.
- Request deletion of information, subject to records we must retain.

Changes to This Privacy Notice
Expect this notice to change. The site, its search partners, and its privacy practices may all evolve. Revisions get posted right here with a new effective date. Keep using the site after a revision, and the updated notice governs your later visits.
