Information You Provide
Queries Sent to Partners
A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Rusk County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The partner’s own privacy terms and data practices apply to its handling of a query.
Messages and Correspondence
If you contact us by email or a contact submission, we retain the information needed to read and answer the message. It is not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.

External Sites and Ads
The service links to sources such as the Rusk County jail portal, Sheriff’s Office, courts, TDCJ, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once you follow a link, that destination controls its own information practices. Review the destination’s notice before submitting information there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to observe activity across websites and deliver interest-based advertising. Those systems are operated by the partners, not by Rusk County Busted Mugshots.
