Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
When you enter a name or place into a search tool, the query is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. Hamilton County Busted Mugshots does not keep or log those terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to respond. We do not share it outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.

Cookie Use
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block them in your browser, although parts of the site may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports routine site operations and service delivery.
- Maintain site performance and availability
- Send a search to the selected partner service
- Understand which guides readers use
- Detect and correct technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect user interests
Websites Beyond This One
Links may lead to the Hamilton County inmate portal, Sheriff's Office, Indiana Department of Correction, courts, federal locators, or outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy controls its handling of your data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits across different websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under their practices, not this site's direct control.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by these parties when needed:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to a public website. No Internet transmission or connected system is entirely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor submitted information so that deletion can be considered.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, you may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request a correction, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. These choices apply to data controlled by this site, not records held by Hamilton County under Indiana Code 5-14-3 or data controlled by another website.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as site practices change. An updated version becomes effective when it is posted here with a new effective date.
