Search entries
A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Washington County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy rules govern its processing.
Messages
An email or contact message may be retained long enough to answer it and maintain the related correspondence. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages and may support advertising or other features. A browser can reject or delete cookies, though some functions may then work differently.
How Data Supports the Site
Collected data is used only for operation, measurement, routing, troubleshooting, and advertising functions.
- Operate the pages and improve their speed
- Send a search to the selected partner service
- Measure which information visitors use
- Find and repair technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect interests
Privacy Beyond These Pages
Links lead to sheriff rosters, records forms, court and corrections portals, news sources, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select targeted ads. That tracking occurs under the partner's practices, not within this site's direct records.
Limited Data Recipients
Personal information is not sold. Depending on the function used, data may be processed by the following recipients.
- Search partners that receive a submitted query
- Analytics providers measuring site use
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used where appropriate. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, however, and this site cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Adults Only
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the contact page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Rights vary by location and by the law that applies. A valid request may ask for one or more of these actions.
- Receive a copy of personal data held by the site
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Request deletion when the law permits it
- Opt out of certain processing where that right applies
Notice Changes
This privacy notice may be revised as services or legal duties change. A new version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective date.
