A name, place, or other search term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Madison County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the request.
Messages
When you send an email or other contact message, we retain the information needed to respond. It is not shared outside our organization unless a legal requirement requires disclosure.
