Information You Provide
Search entries
When a name, location, or similar term is entered into a search tool, the query is transmitted to the third-party provider operating that tool. Lehigh County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log the query on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or other contact message, we may keep the information you provide so we can respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.

Cookies may be used to measure how visitors use the site. You can block or delete cookies through browser settings, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How We Use Information
Information collected through ordinary use is used for site operations and improvement, not to create or maintain government records.
- Operate, secure, and improve page performance
- Send search entries to the applicable partner service
- Learn which record-source pages visitors find useful
- Diagnose errors and prevent misuse
- Support advertising that may be tailored by an advertising provider
Outside Sites and Advertising
The site links to Lehigh County offices, Pennsylvania court and corrections resources, and third-party search tools. Once you follow a link, that destination’s privacy policy and data practices apply. Official public-record access is also governed by the rules of the originating custodian, including Pennsylvania public-record and criminal-history limits.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Their collection is governed by their own notices and choices, rather than this Privacy Notice.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may nevertheless be disclosed or processed by the service providers needed to operate the site or when law requires it.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that serve ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards designed for a public reference website. No internet-connected system can promise absolute security, however, and we cannot guarantee that transmission or storage will always be free from unauthorized access.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information to us, contact us so that information can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
You may ask about personal information held in connection with a direct message or other interaction with the site. Subject to applicable law and verification, you may request a copy, correction, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as the site or its services change. A revised version takes effect when posted here and will identify the date the revised policy became effective.
