A name or place entered into a search feature is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that feature. Dodge County Busted Mugshots does not maintain its own log of those search terms. The provider’s privacy terms apply to the query after it reaches that provider.

If you send a message or other direct correspondence, we may keep the name, contact details, and message content needed to respond or maintain the exchange. We do not share those materials outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
