Information submitted directly
Search requests
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Wayne County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms apply to the query after it is submitted.
Messages
Messages sent through an available contact route may be retained to respond or manage the request. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical information collected automatically

- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.

Cookies and similar tools
Cookies help understand how visitors use the service and support site features, analytics, and advertising. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, though portions of a tool or site feature may then work differently.
How information is used
Technical and contact information may be used to operate and protect the service, respond to messages, send a query to the selected search partner, understand which pages are useful, identify technical faults, and help deliver advertising that may be relevant to an audience. It is not sold as a list of personal data.
- Maintain and improve page performance.
- Route a submitted search to the selected provider.
- Measure site use and diagnose errors.
- Respond to contact communications.

Other websites and providers
The service links to county, state, federal, court, sheriff, corrections, and outside search resources. Once a visitor follows a link, that destination's privacy notice and practices control. Wayne County Busted Mugshots does not control an outside site's uptime, data collection, search result, or policy.
Advertising and analytics providers may use their own tools to observe activity across sites. That activity occurs under their systems and policies, not under a promise made by this service.
Recipients of data
Personal data is not sold. Depending on the feature used, limited information may reach the following recipients.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics and hosting providers.
- Advertising networks and related measurement services.
- Law enforcement or government authorities when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security limits
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. Transmission, storage, and third-party services always carry risk. Do not send sensitive documents through an unverified contact channel.
