Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name or place entered into a search box is transmitted to the independent provider that operates the tool. DeKalb County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy controls 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 that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You can block them through browser controls, although doing so may change how some functions behave.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports routine operation and service improvement.

Links and Advertising Services
Links may lead to sheriff and jail pages, court portals, correctional systems, public-record sources, news sites, and independent search tools. Once you leave, the destination's own privacy policy controls its practices.
Advertising partners may use their systems to recognize activity across websites and select targeted advertising. That tracking occurs through the partner's technology, not a government records system operated by this site.

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site activity
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order
Data Security
We use customary safeguards intended to protect information. No website, network, or storage system is entirely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us and request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we hold
- Correct inaccurate personal information
