For example, in California, bail bond records are generally public and accessible via the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system.
When you work with a bail bondsman, you can remain anonymous if you wish. The only people who will know your name are the bail agent and the court. Your name will not appear on any public records associated with the case.
Bail information is considered public record in the State of California, meaning that anyone (not only defendants themselves) can request this info. The details can be accessed via the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system or the Criminal Intake Section.

Sanctions for violations of pretrial release may include: (1) A verbal or written admonishment from the court; (2) Imprisonment in the county jail for a period not exceeding 30 days; (3) A modification of the defendant's pretrial conditions. (110-G(f)) The court may still modify the conditions of release.
The judicial officer may order a prosecution for contempt if the person has willfully failed to appear in court or otherwise willfully violated a condition of pretrial release. Willful failure to appear in court without just cause after pretrial release should be made a criminal offense.
