Information You Provide
Search Entries
A name, location, or other text entered into a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Augusta County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s terms and privacy notice govern its handling of a submitted query.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and respond to it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Routine Technical Data
When a browser loads a page, ordinary technical information may be collected to operate, secure, and understand the resource. This can include the following categories.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the resource and support basic operation. You can block or clear cookies through browser settings, although some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
Why Information Is Used
Information is used for the limited operational purposes below, not to create an official Augusta County record.
- Maintain availability and performance.
- Pass a search request to the partner service that receives it.
- Understand which material is useful to visitors.
- Identify and correct technical faults or misuse.
- Deliver advertising that may reflect general interests.
Other Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to the Middle River Regional Jail roster, Augusta County Sheriff’s Office pages, Virginia court portals, the Virginia Department of Corrections, or third-party search services. Each outside website controls its own privacy practices after you follow a link. Review its notice before entering information there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to observe activity across websites and provide interest-based advertising. That activity occurs under the partner’s policies, not under this notice.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be shared only with providers that need it for the functions described here or when a valid legal requirement applies.
- Search partners that receive and process search entries.
- Analytics services that help measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertisements.
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable practices intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure, so this notice does not promise that stored or transmitted information will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This resource is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided personal information, use the Contacts page to ask for deletion.
