Privacy Practices and Choices

This Privacy Notice describes the information Washington County Busted Mugshots may receive, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, visitors accept these practices and the separate practices of any outside service they choose to use.

Information Provided Directly

A name or location entered into a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Washington County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those submitted search terms on its own systems.

Emails or contact messages may be retained so that the organization can respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, although some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Technical and message information may be used for the following operating purposes.

Security Practices

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise absolute security, so no breach-proof guarantee is made.
