Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you enter a name, place, or other query into a search tool, that entry is sent to the independent provider that operates the tool. Mendocino County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's terms and privacy policy govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal order.
