Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, location, or other query entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Ross County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages sent to us
If you send an email or another contact message, we keep the information provided so we can respond. We do not share it outside our organization unless a legal requirement requires disclosure.
Technical Data and Cookies
When a browser loads a page, hosting, security, and analytics services can receive routine technical information needed to operate and understand the service.
- Your internet protocol address.
- Your browser type and version.

- Dates and times of access.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Your browser may allow you to block or remove them, although some features may then work differently.
How We Use Information
We use the information described above to operate the service and improve its reliability. That use may include the following activities.
- Maintaining site performance and availability.
- Sending a search request to the provider selected for that tool.
- Learning which reference pages are useful to visitors.
- Detecting and correcting technical problems.
- Displaying advertising that may be based on interests.
External Services and Links
Links on this site can lead to Sheriff roster interfaces, court and corrections portals, public-records materials, and third-party search tools. Their privacy rules, not this notice, apply after you leave this site. An official records link may concern a custodian’s obligations under Ohio Revised Code R.C. 149.43, but that statute does not govern this site’s independent privacy practices.
Advertising partners may collect activity across sites to deliver interest-based advertising through their own systems. Ross County Busted Mugshots does not control those partners’ collection or retention practices.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information can be disclosed to the limited categories below when needed for the described service or when law requires it.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that help measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve advertisements.
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable, standard safeguards intended to protect information. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, and we cannot promise that a transmission or stored record will never be accessed, changed, or lost without authorization.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor supplied personal information, contact us so that the information can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
