Information You Provide
Search-tool entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a third-party search tool is sent to the provider that operates that tool. St. Louis County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy rules and terms govern its handling of a submitted query.
Messages you send
If you email us or submit a message, we may keep the information in that message so we can respond or address the request. We do not share correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.

- Internet Protocol address and general network information.
- Browser type, version, and language settings.
- Device type and operating system.

Cookies and similar tools may help us understand site use and remember limited browser preferences. A visitor can block or remove cookies through browser controls. Some features may work differently after cookies are blocked.
How We Use Information
Information received through the site is used for ordinary site operation and improvement, not to create official arrest or custody files.
- Maintain the site and improve its speed and reliability.
- Send a search request to the partner tool selected by a visitor.

Outside Sites and Advertising
The site links to official jail and police resources, Missouri court and corrections resources, public-records portals, federal locators, and third-party search tools. When you follow an external link, that organization’s privacy policy, terms, availability, and data practices apply. We do not control them.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or to show interest-based advertisements. Any such tracking occurs under the partner’s policies and technical controls, not under this site’s direct control.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to the parties below when needed to operate services or comply with a legal obligation.
- Search partners that receive a query submitted through their tool.
- Analytics providers that help measure site performance and use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertisements.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information under our control. No internet-connected service can guarantee complete security, however, and we cannot promise that any transmission or stored information will be free from every risk.
