Information provided by visitors
Search entries
When a name or place is entered into a search feature, the entry is sent to the independent provider that operates that feature. Northumberland County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those submitted search terms on its own systems.
Messages
We retain an email or other message sent to us only as needed to respond. We do not disclose message content outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical data collected automatically

- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, if one is supplied.
- Visit dates and times.

Cookies and similar tools help measure how the site is used. A browser can be configured to refuse or delete cookies, but some site features may then work differently.
How information is used

- Send a search request to the selected partner service.

- Detect and correct errors, abuse, and technical problems.

External websites and advertising
This guide links to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, and outside search services. Their privacy practices apply after a visitor leaves this site. Virginia Freedom of Information Act requests to a public body are governed by Virginia law, including Va. Code ยง 2.2-3704, rather than by this notice.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and provide interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs under the partner's policies and controls.
Parties that may receive information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be handled by the following categories of recipients when necessary:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that help assess site operation.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertising.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security measures
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards for information under our control. Internet transmission and storage cannot be guaranteed completely secure, so no security method is promised to be breach-proof.
