Information You Submit
Search terms
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Norfolk County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms apply to its handling of the query.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. A message is not shared outside the organization unless doing so is required by law or needed to respond through an appropriate service.
Technical Data Collected Automatically

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help show how visitors use the site and support advertising or technical functions. Browser settings can reject or remove cookies, 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.
- Understand which Norfolk County pages visitors use.
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and technical faults.
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Links Beyond This Site
Links may lead to the Norfolk County Sheriff, municipal police, Massachusetts courts and corrections pages, federal locators, news outlets, or third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy policy governs its data collection and use.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or select targeted ads. That processing occurs under the partner’s controls, not as a government public-record function.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be handled by:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Is Best Effort
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information under our control. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, uninterrupted protection, or freedom from every breach. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive facts that are not needed for a message.
Adults Only
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of information that is inaccurate.
- Ask for deletion where applicable law permits it.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where that right applies.
A request may require reasonable identity verification. Rights can depend on the governing law and the nature of the data.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as services, vendors, or legal requirements change. The updated wording and effective date will be posted here. Continued use after publication means the revised practices apply.
