Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is submitted to the independent provider that operates that tool. Nicholas County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send us a message, we may retain the information in it so we can respond or address the request. We do not share a message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical information when a page is loaded.
- Your internet protocol address.
- Your browser name and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring site, when one is available.
- The date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help us understand site use and maintain basic functionality. You can limit cookies in your browser settings, although some features may work differently after they are blocked.
How Information Is Used
We use available information to operate and improve the service, not to create an official Nicholas County record.
- Maintain the site and improve page performance.
- Send a search request to the provider selected for that tool.
- Understand which pages readers find useful.
- Detect, investigate, and correct technical problems.
- Support advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's interests.
Outside Sites and Advertising
The guide links to official custody searches, court portals, sheriff and DCR pages, and independent search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy practices govern the information you provide there.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based advertising. That activity occurs under the provider's policies and systems, not under a Nicholas County Busted Mugshots records program.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be disclosed to the limited types of recipients below when needed for the stated purpose or when legally required.
- Search partners that process a submitted search.
- Analytics providers that help measure site activity.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertising.
- Government or law-enforcement authorities responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information under our control. No internet-connected service can promise absolute security, and no method of transmission or storage is guaranteed to prevent every unauthorized access.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, contact us to request its deletion.

Subject to applicable law and identity verification, you may ask about personal information held by the site.
- Request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate.
- Request deletion of information, where applicable.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing when the law provides that choice.
Changes to This Policy
