A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that search tool. Hyde County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy rules apply to the request after it leaves this site.

When a Link Takes You Elsewhere
This site links to the Hyde County Sheriff's Department, public-records form, court Portal, state corrections tools, federal locators, and some outside research services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's own privacy notice controls its handling of information. Hyde County Busted Mugshots does not control the other service's content, data practices, or availability.
Some advertising partners may also track activity across different websites to support interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs on the partner's systems, not under this site's direct control.
Parties That May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold by this site. It may nevertheless be handled by the following parties when their services are used or when a lawful demand applies:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure page use.
- Advertising networks and their service providers.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Is a Best Effort
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for the information this site handles. No system connected to the internet is completely secure, however, so the site cannot promise that data will be immune from every breach, attack, or unauthorized access.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted personal information, a parent or guardian may send a request to have that information deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Privacy questions or requests may be sent through the site's contact route. Depending on the information involved, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held by this site.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Ask that information be erased.
- Opt out of certain forms of processing.
A request cannot change records held by the Hyde County Sheriff's Department, Hyde County Jail, North Carolina courts, NCDAC, BOP, or ICE. Those custodians handle their own systems and requests.

This notice may be revised as the site or its services change. A new version takes effect when it is posted on this page, along with a new effective date when one is supplied.
