Information You Provide
Partner Search Entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Cherokee County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages You Send
If you send a message through an available contact method, we retain the information needed to respond. We do not share that message outside the organization unless a legal requirement requires disclosure.
