Full Content Removal Policy
RecentlyBusted (“we,” “us,” or “our”) publishes arrest records, booking photographs (“mugshots”), and related information obtained from public records. This policy explains under what circumstances we will review and potentially remove content from https://recentlybusted.com (the “Site”).
1. General Policy on Public Records
All information published on the Site is obtained from official, publicly available records. As such, information is generally considered public domain. We do not alter, verify, or independently investigate the accuracy of this information.
We will not remove content simply because it is embarrassing, unfavorable, or inconvenient.
2. Grounds for Content Removal
We may consider removal or modification requests under the following circumstances:
- Expunged or Sealed Records
If a court has expunged, sealed, or otherwise legally restricted access to your record, we will remove it upon receipt of official documentation. - Incorrect or Misidentified Records
If the information is factually inaccurate, incomplete, or references the wrong individual, we will review and correct or remove it with supporting documentation. - Outdated or Resolved Cases (Case-by-Case Review)
We may, at our discretion, review requests involving older cases where charges were dismissed, dropped, or the individual was acquitted. - Legal Orders
If we receive a valid court order requiring removal, we will comply with the order.
3. How to Submit a Removal Request
If you believe content should be removed, you must submit a written request that includes:
- Your full name and contact information.
- The exact URL(s) of the content you want reviewed.
- A clear explanation of why the content qualifies for removal under this policy.
- Official supporting documentation (e.g., court order, expungement paperwork, or other legal proof).
Requests may be submitted to:
We will review all valid requests in a timely manner. Submitting a request does not guarantee removal.
4. Processing and Response
- If your request is approved, we will remove or update the content as appropriate.
- If your request is denied, we will notify you with a brief explanation.
- We reserve the right to decline requests that do not meet the requirements of this policy.
5. Third-Party Search Engines
Please note that removal of content from RecentlyBusted does not automatically remove it from third-party search engines (such as Google or Bing). You may need to submit separate removal requests to those platforms.
