Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, location, or other term typed into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Ohio County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
When someone sends an email or a contact-form message, we keep the information needed to respond. We do not share that message outside our organization unless a legal requirement requires disclosure.

How Information Is Used
Collected information supports the operation and improvement of the service.

- Identify and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests
External Websites and Advertising
The site links to public jail searches, booking-admissions views, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows a link, that destination’s privacy policy controls its handling of information.
Advertising partners may track activity across websites for interest-based advertising through their own systems. Ohio County Busted Mugshots does not control those outside systems.

We do not sell personal information. Information may be disclosed only to the following kinds of recipients when needed for the stated purposes or required by law.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information. No internet-connected service can guarantee complete security, however, and we cannot promise that a system will never be compromised.
Visitors Under 18
