Information You Provide
Search terms
When you enter a name, location, or other query into a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. Virginia Beach City Busted Mugshots does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy notice and terms apply to the query once it is submitted there.
Messages
If you send an email or contact submission to the site, we may keep the information needed to read and respond to it. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or is necessary to protect legal rights or safety.
Technical Data and Cookies

- Internet Protocol address and general network information.
- Browser type, version, and language settings.
- Device type, operating system, and screen or display details.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site. Your browser settings may block or remove cookies, although certain features or partner services may then work differently. Choices made in a browser do not control cookies or practices used by an external site after you leave this one.
How Information Is Used
We use the information available to us for practical site operations and to connect a submitted search to its provider.
- Maintain, secure, and improve the site's operation and speed.
- Send a search request to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- Learn which reference pages and official-record routes visitors find useful.
- Identify, investigate, and correct technical errors or misuse.
- Deliver advertising that may be selected using interests or browsing activity.
External Services and Links
The site links to VBSO and Virginia Beach Correctional Center resources, police and court portals, Virginia Department of Corrections material, government pages, and third-party search tools. Each destination controls its own content, availability, and data practices. Read that destination's privacy notice before providing information there.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to observe activity across websites and tailor advertisements. That activity occurs under the partner's policies and technology, not under the operational control of this private reference site.
Limited Disclosure of Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may nonetheless be handled by the following recipients when needed for the purposes described in this notice.
- Search partners that process a query submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that help measure site use and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertisements.
- Law enforcement or government authorities when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Is Not Absolute
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards for the information we control. No online system, transmission, or storage method can promise complete security. We therefore cannot guarantee that data will never be accessed, changed, lost, or disclosed without authorization.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent, guardian, or young person believes a minor has submitted personal information, please use Get in Touch to request its deletion.
