Information Sent Directly
Search Terms
A name, location, or other query entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Gwinnett County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or contact message is kept long enough to review and answer it. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
When a page loads, ordinary server, analytics, or hosting tools may record technical details about the visit. That information can include:
- IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on each page
- The referring site, when one is supplied
- Visit and request timestamps
Cookies and Similar Files

How the Information Is Used
The purpose is to operate a usable public-record reference service for Gwinnett County sources such as GCSO JAIL View and the county records path. Information may be used to:
- Keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast
- Send search requests to the correct partner tool
- Understand which pages and explanations are useful
- Find errors and resolve technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests
Links Beyond This Service
Gwinnett County Busted Mugshots links to official resources including the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office's SmartWEB JAIL View for the Gwinnett County Jail, the GCSO records page, the Gwinnett Courts case search, and the county's Open Records information. It also points to the Georgia Department of Corrections and other government or third-party search services. Once a visitor follows a link, that destination's own privacy policy and data practices apply.
Some advertising partners may measure activity across different websites to select or report targeted advertising. That tracking occurs on the partner's systems and is governed by its terms, not by this page.
Who May Receive Information

- Analytics services that measure visits and page use
- Advertising networks and their service providers
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used for the information handled by the service. No internet-connected system is completely secure, so these steps are a best effort rather than a promise that data cannot be lost, intercepted, or exposed.
Visitors Under 18
