Information You Submit
Queries sent to search partners
When you type a name, place, or other search term into a search tool, the query is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Fayette County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those submitted search terms on its own systems.
Messages you send us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to respond. We do not share a message outside our organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.

Cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. You may block or delete cookies through browser settings, though some features may work differently after that choice.
How We Use Information
We use submitted and technical information to operate the service and make it more useful.

Linked Services and Websites
Links may take you to official sheriff, WVDCR, jail, court, or public-record sources, including West Virginia’s public-records statute, as well as independent search tools. Once you leave this site, the receiving organization’s privacy practices and terms control.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising through their own systems. Their collection is governed by their own notices, not this Privacy Notice.

We do not sell personal data. Limited information can reach the following recipients when it is necessary for the stated purpose or required by law.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers used to understand site performance.
- Advertising networks that support the service.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable, standard safeguards intended to protect information. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure, however, and we cannot promise that a transmission or stored information will never be accessed improperly.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information, contact us so the information can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.

You may contact us about information held by the site and make the following requests.
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold.

- Ask that personal information be erased.
- Opt out of certain processing where that option applies.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as the site or its practices change. Any revision will appear here with an updated effective date, and continued use after posting means the updated notice applies.
