Information you provide
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the independent provider that operates that tool. Fairfield County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's handling of a query is governed by its own privacy notice and terms.
Messages
If you send a message or other contact submission, we may retain the information needed to read it and respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

External destinations
This site links to government resources, custody and court tools, and independent search services. A destination's privacy rules take over once you leave this site. Review those terms before supplying information to a Fairfield County office, the South Carolina Department of Corrections, or any other linked resource.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and to deliver interest-based advertising. Their tracking is governed by their own policies, not this notice.

Security practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed for this service. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure, however, and we cannot promise that a transmission or stored record will never be accessed, altered, or disclosed without authorization.

This site is intended for adults and is not directed to people under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child. If a parent or guardian believes that a minor has sent us personal information, they may use the instructions on the Get in Touch page to request its deletion.
Your information choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask to review personal information we hold, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, or object to certain processing. Requests may be submitted using the Get in Touch information.
Changes to this notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as practices or services change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date, and continued use after posting is subject to the revised notice.
