Privacy

This notice describes information received when you browse Hawaii Busted Mugshots, use a search box, send a message, or follow an outside link. Using the site means you understand these data practices. The site is privately run; Hawaiʻi's public-records law, HRS Chapter 92F, applies to government agencies rather than making this site a records custodian.

Information You Send

Search Box Entries

A name, location, or other text entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Hawaii Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms explain how it handles the query after it leaves this site.

Messages and Contact Requests

If you send an email or contact message, the information in it is kept so the operator can read and answer it. It is not shared beyond the organization unless a service needed to handle the message or a legal requirement calls for that disclosure.


Technical Data and Cookies

When a page loads, standard server and analytics tools may record technical details such as:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device type and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent on each;
  • the referring website, when supplied; and
  • page-access dates and times.

Cookie Use

Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site or support its features. Browser settings can block or clear them. Some parts may not work as intended if cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

Information described above may be used to:

  • keep the pages available and responsive;
  • send search requests to the selected provider;
  • understand which pages visitors use;
  • find and repair technical faults; and
  • display advertising that may reflect browsing interests.

Outside Websites and Partners

Links lead to police arrest logs, DCR and court pages, county sites, federal locators, and other tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Hawaii Busted Mugshots cannot control its collection or security practices.

Advertising partners may track activity across sites on their own systems to select or measure ads. Their tracking is governed by their terms and settings, not by this site's controls.


Who May Receive Information

The operator does not sell personal messages or search terms. Information may reach the following service providers or recipients when needed:

  • search providers that process a query;
  • analytics vendors that measure site use;
  • advertising networks that serve or measure ads; and
  • law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.

Security Limits

Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information held by the site. No internet-connected system is fully secure, however, and no method can promise protection against every loss, misuse, or unauthorized access.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor sent information may ask the operator to remove it.


Your Choices

You may contact the operator to ask what information it holds or request a change where it can act on the data:

  • ask for a copy of information you sent;
  • request a correction to a message or contact detail;
  • ask for deletion of a message held by the operator; or
  • ask how to limit a use that is within the operator's control.

Search providers and advertising services manage information held in their own systems. Requests about their records must go to those providers.


Changes to This Notice

This notice may change as the site or its service providers change. A revised version will appear here with an updated effective date; continued use after posting means the new terms apply.
