Information You Provide
Search Requests
When you enter a name, location, or similar search term into a search tool, that request is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Scioto County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages You Send
Email and messages sent through a contact form may be retained so that a response can be provided and the communication can be managed. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
