Information You Provide
Search Terms
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the independent provider operating that tool. Rains County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or submit a message, we retain the information needed to respond. We do not share that message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

External Websites
This site links to independent resources, including the Rains County Sheriff's Office, the county's Open Records Request Form, the District Clerk, corrections locators, and third-party search tools. Once you follow a link, that destination's privacy practices apply rather than this notice.

- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers.
- Advertising networks.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable, standard safeguards intended to protect information. No internet-connected system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that information will never be accessed, altered, or disclosed without authorization.
