Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, location, or similar item entered into a partner search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Bedford County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. A partner provider's privacy policy controls its handling of information submitted to that provider.
Messages and contact requests
Messages sent by email or a contact method may be retained to respond to the sender or maintain a related record. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Other Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to official public-record portals, correctional resources, court systems, and independent search tools. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that destination's privacy policy and practices apply. Bedford County Busted Mugshots does not control another site's content, availability, or data handling.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising through their own systems. Their handling of that information is governed by their policies, not this policy.

- Search partners that process a submitted search request
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
