Information You Submit
Search entries
A name, place, or other term entered into a site search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Jones County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those query terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information supplied in that message so we can respond. We do not share it outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
