Information You Provide
Search requests
Type a name or location into a search tool on this site. That entry goes straight to the independent provider running the tool. It never lands on our systems. Richmond City Busted Mugshots keeps no log of those search terms.
Messages
Email and contact form messages are different. We may keep the contents and your contact details. That is only so a reply can reach you. Nothing gets shared outside the organization unless the law demands it.
Technical Data and Cookies
Loading any page sends along routine technical details, the way it works on nearly every website. Our service providers receive this data too. It helps keep the service running and secure.
- IP address
- Browser and browser version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring site, when one is supplied
- Request timestamps
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools play a role here too. They measure how the site is used. They also keep certain functions working. Your browser can block or delete them at any time. Just know some features may act a bit differently afterward.
Why Data Is Used
Why collect anything at all? Technical and contact information keeps the site available. It routes a search request to its provider and shows which pages actually help visitors. It also helps diagnose errors. And it supports advertising that might match your interests.
Links and Advertising Partners
You will find links here to public resources. These include RCJC, the Richmond Police Department, Virginia courts, corrections agencies, and outside search tools. Once you click through, you are on someone else's turf. The destination's own privacy rules take over. We have no control over those systems or how they handle data.
Advertising partners run their own technologies. They can watch activity across many sites. That tracking happens entirely on their systems. Their policies govern it, not ours.
Who May Receive Data
Here is the short version: your personal information is not sold. It may be handled only by the parties needed to deliver the functions described in this notice.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Measures
Reasonable practices protect the information collected here, though no internet-connected system can promise perfect security. One practical tip: skip unnecessary sensitive details when writing to us.
Visitors Under 18
This site is built for adults. No information is knowingly collected from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information, contact us and we will handle the deletion request.
Your Privacy Choices
The law where you live may give you several choices. You can request a copy of the details we keep. You can ask us to fix anything that is wrong. Deletion requests and opt-outs are also on the table. To get moving on any of these, the Get in Touch page is the place to start.
Changes to This Notice
Sites and laws both evolve, so this notice may change too. Whenever it does, the revised version takes effect once posted here with an updated effective date.
