Information You Submit
Search Requests
When a name, location, or similar term is entered into a search tool, that request is sent to the independent provider operating the tool. Big Stone County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those terms on its own systems. The provider's terms and privacy notice govern its handling of the query.
Messages and Contact Requests
If you send a message through a contact channel, we may keep the name, email address, and information included in it to respond or address the request. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
