A name, place, or other search term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Pickett County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact-form message, the information in that message may be retained to respond and maintain a correspondence record. It is not shared outside the organization except when a lawful requirement calls for disclosure.
