Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, place, or other query typed into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Athens County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you email us or submit a contact message, we may retain the information needed to answer the message or manage the request. We do not share message content outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Cookie choices
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support some features. Browser settings can be used to refuse or remove cookies, although parts of the site may behave differently after cookies are blocked.
How Data Is Used
Information may be used to keep the site available, direct a query to its search partner, understand which material is useful, troubleshoot technical problems, and display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor’s interests.
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links can lead to official jail, court, Sheriff, corrections, and government pages, as well as third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s own privacy notice and terms control its data practices. Review them before submitting information.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites for interest-based ads using their own systems. That tracking is governed by the partner’s policies, not this notice.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited data may be shared with the service providers needed to run the site or when a valid legal requirement applies.
- Search partners that receive a submitted query.
- Analytics services that measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve advertisements.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect data in our control. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed fully secure, so this notice does not promise that transmissions or stored information are immune from every risk.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor submitted personal information, contact us so the information can be reviewed for deletion.
