Information You Provide
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Lewis County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we retain the information needed to respond. We do not share that message outside our organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, the site may receive routine technical information when a page is loaded. That information helps operate, secure, and understand the site.
- Your IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is provided.
- Access dates and times.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can block or clear cookies, although some functions may work differently after they are disabled.
How Information Is Used
We use the limited information described above to operate and improve the resource and its technical services.
- Maintain site performance and availability.
- Send a submitted search request to its provider.
- Understand which Lewis County record-resource pages are useful.
- Detect, investigate, and correct technical problems.
- Deliver advertising that may be interest-based.
Links and Advertising Services
The site links to official resources such as the West Virginia DCR search hub, the Lewis County sheriff contact record, court portals, and independent search tools. Once you follow an outside link, that destination's privacy terms govern its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may measure activity across different websites to deliver interest-based ads. That activity occurs under the provider's systems and policies, not under the records offices linked from this site.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be disclosed only to the service providers and recipients needed for the following purposes.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics vendors that help measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or a government body when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, so this notice does not guarantee that data will never be accessed, lost, or disclosed without authorization.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal information, contact us so it can be reviewed for deletion.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and identity verification, you may contact us to make a request about personal information held by this site.
- Ask for a copy of the personal data we retain about you.
- Request correction of information that is inaccurate.

Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as the site or its services change. The current version will be posted here, and a revised version applies when posted.
