Information You Choose to Provide
Queries Submitted to Search Tools
A name or location entered into a search tool is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. Dawson County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Messages sent by email or a contact method may be retained so a reply can be made. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

External Links and Advertising
Links may lead to sheriff, court, corrections, federal locator, government, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the receiving service’s own privacy policy applies.
Some advertising partners may track activity across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. This site does not control that separate activity.
Limited Sharing
Personal data is not sold. It may be shared only with the following kinds of recipients when needed:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet-connected service can promise complete security or immunity from a breach.
Visitors Under 18
