Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Butler County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those query terms on its own systems.
Messages You Send
If you send an email or contact message, we retain it as needed to answer. We do not share the message outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Automatic Technical Data
Normal web operations may record technical information when a page loads, including:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block cookies in your browser, although some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
- Send search requests to the selected partner service.

Sites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to the Butler County Sheriff's Office, Iowa Courts Online, IDOC, federal locators, news sources, and third-party search tools. After you leave, that destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may also measure activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems rather than ours.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body responding to a valid legal order.
Security Has Limits
We use standard safeguards suited to an informational website. No Internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be lost, exposed, or accessed without permission.

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor submitted information so deletion can be requested.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Ask for deletion where applicable.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where that right applies.
