Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice explains the information handled when you use Fairfield County Busted Mugshots, how that information is used, and when it can be shared. It applies to this private reference site and its features, including a third-party search tool where one is offered. By continuing to use the site, you acknowledge these practices. This notice does not replace the privacy notices or public-records policies maintained by the government offices and outside services mentioned elsewhere on the site.

Information You Provide

Search Entries

A name, place, or other query entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. Fairfield County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy practices govern the information once it receives the query.

Messages to the Site

If you send an email or other message to us, we retain the information needed to read and respond to it. We do not share message content outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data and Cookies

Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical data when a page is opened. This information helps deliver and maintain the site.

  • Internet protocol address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
  • Referring website, when one is supplied.
  • Page-access dates and times.

Cookie Settings

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to understand site use and improve performance. Most browsers offer controls to block or remove cookies. If you use those controls, some site features or partner tools may not work as expected.


How We Use Information

Information is used for ordinary website operations and to understand whether the guide is functioning as intended.

  • To operate, secure, and maintain the site.
  • To send a submitted search request to the selected partner service.
  • To understand which pages readers use.
  • To diagnose and correct technical problems.
  • To deliver advertising that may be based on activity or interests.

Outside Websites and Services

This guide may point to the Fairfield County Sheriff's Office, courts, ODRC, federal custody locators, and outside search services. Each destination has its own data practices, availability, and terms. Its privacy notice applies after you leave this site.

Requests made directly to a Fairfield County public office are also separate from this site. Ohio Revised Code ยง149.43 governs public-records access by government custodians, while this notice governs only this private reference service. Advertising partners may measure activity across sites for their own interest-based advertising systems.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal data. Information may nevertheless be processed or disclosed in the limited ways described below.

  • Search partners receive the query needed to provide their service.
  • Analytics providers may receive technical usage data.
  • Advertising networks may receive information used for ad delivery or measurement.
  • Government agencies or law enforcement may receive information when a valid legal requirement applies.

Security Practices

We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, however, and we cannot guarantee that a transmission or stored data will never be accessed, altered, or lost.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided information to us, contact us so that we can review and remove it where appropriate.

Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask us about information we hold directly about you.

  • Request a copy of personal information held by the site.
  • Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected.
  • Request deletion of information where applicable.
