Information Submitted Directly
Search Entries
If you enter a name or location into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Loudoun County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Email and messages submitted through a contact channel may be retained so we can respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

- Search providers that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies responding to a valid legal order

We use standard administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect information. No online system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a system will be free from every unauthorized access or breach.
