Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered in a site search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Cass County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s own terms and privacy policy govern its handling of the search.
Messages
If you send a message through a published site contact channel, we may retain the name, email address, and message content needed to respond or maintain the correspondence. We do not share messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data and Cookies
When a browser loads a page, hosting, analytics, and security services may receive ordinary technical information. This helps operate the site, diagnose errors, understand traffic, and protect against abuse.
- Internet protocol address and approximate network information.
- Browser type, version, device type, and operating system.
- Pages viewed, time spent on pages, and referring site information.

Cookies and similar tools
Cookies may be used to recognize basic site preferences and measure how visitors use the site. You can limit or delete cookies through browser settings. Some features or measurement tools may not work as intended when cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
We use the limited information described above to operate and improve the site, not to create official custody or court records.
- Maintain page delivery, performance, security, and reliability.
- Pass a voluntarily entered search request to the appropriate search partner.
- Measure which Cass County and Missouri records topics readers find useful.
- Identify and correct technical faults or misuse.
- Support advertising that may be selected from general interests or browsing context.
Outside Resources and Ads
This site links to official custody rosters, public-record request information, courts, correctional agencies, and independent search providers. When you leave this site, the receiving service’s privacy practices apply. Those services control their own content, availability, and data handling.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to measure activity across websites or select ads. That activity occurs under the partner’s systems and policies, not as a public-record search maintained by Cass County Busted Mugshots.
People Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data as a product. Limited data may nevertheless be processed by the following recipients when needed for the stated purposes:
- Search partners that receive a query entered into their tool.
- Analytics and site-hosting providers that help measure and operate the site.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertising.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal obligation requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable, best-effort administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the site. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, and we cannot guarantee that a transmission or stored item will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe that a minor submitted personal information, ask us to delete it.

Subject to applicable law and identity verification, you may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate.
- Delete information where retention is not required.
