Search entries
A name or location entered into a search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates the tool. Lake County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
We retain an email or contact submission long enough to respond and manage the correspondence. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.

- IP address
- browser type and version
- device type and operating system
- pages viewed and time spent on them
- the referring page when one is supplied
- request dates and times
