Information You Submit
A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Wicomico County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy controls what happens after the query is sent.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Cookies help measure visits and understand how the pages work. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though a blocked cookie may change how some features behave.
How Data Is Used

- Detect and repair technical or security problems
- Display advertising that may reflect broad interests
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to WCSO, Wicomico County Corrections, Maryland Case Search, DPSCS, federal locators, news outlets, or outside search services. Once you leave, that operator’s privacy terms govern. Review them before sending personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. Their collection does not occur in a government record system operated by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by search partners that process queries, analytics providers, advertising networks, and government or law enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard technical and organizational safeguards are used to protect the information under our control. No internet service, storage system, or transmission is breach-proof, so absolute security cannot be promised.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information actually held, a person may ask for a copy of personal data, request correction, seek erasure, or object to certain processing. These rights concern data controlled by this private site. Requests about an official Wicomico County or Maryland record must go to its government custodian.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as services, vendors, or legal duties change. A new version takes effect when it is posted with its updated effective date.
