Search entries
A name, place, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. La Crosse County Busted Mugshots does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

How Information Is Used
Collected information supports the operation and improvement of the site.

- Understand which material visitors find useful.
- Diagnose and correct technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be tailored by advertising systems.
External Websites and Advertising
The site links to public offices, custody locators, court portals, corrections resources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outbound link, that destination’s privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may measure activity across websites for interest-based advertising through their own systems. Their activity is governed by their policies, not this notice.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be available to the following parties when needed for the stated purpose or when legally required.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve advertisements.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable practices intended to protect information, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive information unless it is necessary for a particular request.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, a parent or guardian may request its deletion through the contact route listed on this site.

- Receive a copy of personal information held by us.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
