Information You Submit
Search entries
If you enter a name, place, or similar search term into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the independent provider operating the tool. Carter County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Information included in a message or contact submission may be retained so that we can respond to it or address the request. We do not share a message outside our organization except when disclosure is required by law.
