Information Submitted Directly
Search Entries
When a visitor enters a name or location into a search tool, that query is sent to the independent provider that operates the tool. Richland County Busted Mugshots does not store or log that search text on its own systems.
Messages
Messages sent by email or through a contact method may be retained so that a response can be provided. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.

How Information Is Used

Outside Links and Advertising
Links can lead to jail rosters, police and sheriff pages, court portals, corrections resources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that provider's privacy terms control its own collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may also collect activity across websites through their own systems for interest-based advertising. Richland County Busted Mugshots does not control those independent systems.
