Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Adams County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Emails and Contact Messages
We retain information sent by email or through a contact form as needed to read and answer the message. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.

- Browser name and version
- Device class and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time records for requests

Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to Sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, jail rosters, booking feeds, and outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination's privacy notice and data practices apply.
Some advertising partners may measure activity across websites to select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through their systems, not ours.

Reasonable Security Measures
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect information. No website, network, or internet-connected storage system can be guaranteed secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
