Information Provided Directly
Search Queries
A name, location, or other term entered into a site search box is passed to the third-party provider that operates that search service. Mitchell County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider’s own terms and privacy notice govern its handling of the query after it receives it.
Messages and Requests
Information sent in a message or through a private-site communication option may be retained to respond, maintain the conversation, or address a reported issue. It is not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law, needed to protect rights or safety, or necessary to operate the requested service.

Linked Services and Advertising
The site links to official sheriff, court, corrections, and government resources, along with third-party search tools. A linked service has its own privacy practices once a visitor leaves this site. For example, an official government page may be governed by the Texas Public Information Act, including Texas Government Code Chapter 552, while a private search service has its own rules.
Advertising partners may collect information across websites for interest-based advertising on their systems. Mitchell County Busted Mugshots does not control those partners’ policies or opt-out choices.
