Privacy Notice for Site Users

This Privacy Notice describes the information collected when you use Unicoi County Busted Mugshots, how that information is used, and the situations in which it may be shared. By using the site, you accept these practices. The notice applies to site activity and messages sent to us, not to the independent government and third-party websites reached through outbound links.

Search entries

When you type a name or location into a search tool, the query is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.

Messages

We retain an email or other message you send so that we can respond. We do not share the message outside our organization unless a law or valid legal process requires disclosure.
