Information You Provide
Search-tool entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. Gogebic 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 disclose those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
