Information You Submit
Search Entries
When you enter a name or location into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Skamania County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you email us or submit a contact message, we keep the information needed to respond. We do not share a message outside our organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, we may receive routine technical information when a browser requests a page. That information helps operate and protect the service.
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- Referring website, where one is supplied.
- Date and time of access.
Cookie Choices
Cookies may help us understand site use. You can block or delete cookies through browser settings, although some functions may work differently after you do so.
How We Use Data
We use submitted and technical information to run, maintain, and improve the service, not to create official custody or court records.
- Operate pages and keep them available.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understand which reference material visitors use.
- Identify and correct technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be interest-based.
External Sources
Links may lead to the Skamania County Sheriff’s custody tools, court portals, corrections resources, government request systems, or third-party search services. Once you follow a link, that organization’s privacy terms and practices apply. Official public-record requests use the responsible agency’s process, including the Washington Public Records Act framework in RCW 42.56.520, rather than this site’s privacy process.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites for their own interest-based advertising. Such tracking occurs within their systems and is governed by their policies.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information can be shared with service providers when needed for the functions described here.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve advertisements.
- Government or law-enforcement authorities 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 we cannot guarantee that a transmission or stored item will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

- Provide a copy of personal information we hold about you.
