Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. Cortland County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those individual search terms on its own systems. The provider's handling of a query is subject to its own privacy terms.
Messages you send
If you email us or otherwise submit a message, we may keep the contact details and content needed to respond. We do not share a message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
